From: openhealth at yahoogroups.com [mailto:openhea...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of fred trotter Sent: Sunday, 3 July 2011 5:40 p.m. To: openhealth at yahoogroups.com Subject: [openhealth] OpenGALEN and OpenEHR Hi, This list (openhealth) has been really silent for a long time. We need a place where everyone who is interested in Open Source in healthcare can continue to engage and talk. OSCON is having a healthcare track next month, and the NWHIN has been huge for Open Source in healthcare. If you want to go, I have a discount code 'os11fos' that will make it a little more bearable. Lots going on, but we, as a pan-project community are pretty silent about things. I am writing a book (with David Uhlman) about Health IT for O'Reilly. I would love comments from this community. http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781449305024/ I need to get some updates on some projects related to ontologies and I was hoping this group could help me. This first is OpenGALEN http://www.opengalen.org That project looks really interesting and have been doing releases for quite some time, but I have some questions about the license and there is apparently -no- way to engage with them. No email, only snail mail. Despite regular releases, that makes me suspect that this is not a legitimate open source project that has mechanisms in place for community engagement. If you know anyone on that project give them a ring but at this stage I am probably going to exclude covering their project, despite it being pretty interesting subject matter and approach. Also I would like to reach out to the OpenEHR folks. Lots of people I respect have told me for quite some time that the whole archetype things is really important. I have watched videos from the OpenEHR.org site and I basically get what they are trying to do. But from what I can tell, there is little benefit to OpenEHR over something like SNOMED+UMLS+CDA. I would love to be proven wrong here, but I need some concrete examples of how the archetype approach lets you do things you cannot do with SNOMED+UMLS+CDA alone. Unless someone can point me to something like this or write something cohesive in an email response, I am going to exclude OpenEHR from my ontology chapter as well. These are the only Open Source ontology efforts that I am aware of. Can anyone point me to other instances of healthcare ontologies (clinical not genomic) that have the ontologie released in under an Open Source license? Perhaps some project that is actually alive and relevant? Do let me know... And lets see some more chatter people.... -FT -- Fred Trotter http://www.fredtrotter.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] __._,_.___ Reply to sender<mailto:fred.trotter at gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20OpenGALEN%20and%20OpenEHR> | Reply to group<mailto:openhealth at yahoogroups.com?subject=Re%3A%20OpenGALEN%20and%20OpenEHR> | Reply via web post<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/openhealth/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJxOGgwZ2xrBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE1MTIxMzE4BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNzI4MTk0MgRtc2dJZAMyNjgwBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3JwbHkEc3RpbWUDMTMwOTY3MTY4Ng--?act=reply&messageNum=2680> | Start a New Topic<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/openhealth/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJmOXE3b2ZsBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE1MTIxMzE4BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNzI4MTk0MgRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNudHBjBHN0aW1lAzEzMDk2NzE2ODY-> Messages in this topic<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/openhealth/message/2680;_ylc=X3oDMTM1YmVrdXN1BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE1MTIxMzE4BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNzI4MTk0MgRtc2dJZAMyNjgwBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3Z0cGMEc3RpbWUDMTMwOTY3MTY4NgR0cGNJZAMyNjgw> (1) Recent Activity: Visit Your Group<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/openhealth;_ylc=X3oDMTJmc3VkNmwzBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE1MTIxMzE4BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNzI4MTk0MgRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzEzMDk2NzE2ODY-> MARKETPLACE Stay on top of your group activity without leaving the page you're on - Get the Yahoo!
