Thanks, Adam. (01)

1. To Adam, (easy one first) ... there's a bit more clean up to do at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/wiki.pl?NhinRfiThesis#nid010 (03)
2. To All, (along the lines of what I proposed in my earlier wiki post,
which we discussed at the conference call today), I proposed the
following change: (04)
From:
//
We propose the following solution to the technological challenges of
NHI (020) (05)
* open source tool support from the leading ontology development
environment - Protege (021)
* reuse of a formal ontology, which embodies the best practices in
information model development - the Suggested Upper Merged Ontology. In
particular we will map and relate the HL7 Reference Information Model
(RIM) to SUMO in order to make recommendations for extending and
formalizing the HL7. (022) (06)
* use of standard formal representation languages, including
Ontology Web Language and Simplified Common Logic (023) (07)
* Additionally, we believe in the process of open collaboration as
the optimal means to bootstrap the development and continuous
improvement of such National Health Information infrastructure, system
or network. (029) (08)
We propose the following solutions to the combined technological and
social challenges of NHI (024) (09)
* a program of education on ontology building, ontology reuse and
ontology tools (025)
* an objective and automated formal conformance and validation
process for health and medical extensions to the SUMO foundation and its
mapping to HL7. (026)
* that multiple open communities of practice be engaged (newly
formed, where necessary) to harness the distributed human and knowledge
resources that can be put to bear to bootstrap the development and
continuous improvement of the envisioned National Health Information
Network. (030)

We propose the following solution to the technological challenges of
NHI (020) (011)
* a drive toward semantic interoperability among disparate systems
* use and reuse of formal ontologies; (022)
** in particular, the adoption of a formal common upper ontology
(such as one that is developed through mapping the HL7 RIM into SUMO);
*** from which domain ontologies can be developed, as extensions of
that common upper ontology
* the use of open source tool support and open ontology development
environment (such as Protege)
* use of standard formal representation languages (such as Ontology
Web Language and Simplified Common Logic) (023)
* Additionally, we believe in the process of open collaboration as
the optimal means to bootstrap the development and continuous
improvement of such National Health Information infrastructure, system
or network. (029) (012)

I invite others, especially members of the NHIN-RFI response project
team, to weigh in, and/or help wordsmith my proposed changes. (015)
I sincerely hope we can reach consensus on the matter ... but if not, I
suggest we narrow things down to a finite number of options by
end-of-day Mon 2005.01.10, and decide by taking a vote among active
participants of the NHIN-RFI team during the Tue 2005.01.11 project
conference call (assuming we have quorum). (016)
