Pat, (01)
While I agree that we should always use something like " ....
such as OpenVistA" (rather than locking us totally into any one
particular product, I have to point out that the Ontolog have had
multiple interactions with the WorldVistA people. (02)
I list some of those that come to mind quickly: (03)
o Chris Richardson and David Whitten (both founders of
WorldVistA) are Ontolog members. (04)
o they are a part of the team and contributed to our NHIN-RFI
response (05)
O we had a full session at Ontolog featuring these two gentlemen
and the OpenVistA product and approach less than 2 months ago -

o they have both been active, and David has been in quite a few
of our weekly calls and speaker/discussion sessions (07)
They are "open" and is probably the most established open tool in
the particular space we are talking about. To say the least, they
are a prime candidate for potential future Ontolog projects where
such a tool is needed. (08)
Cheers. =ppy
