 Key Outcomes
 Normal developers can engage – openEHR +
Snomed become economic and ~quick
 Semantic connection exists between definitions
and implementations
  now we know what the meaning of data are, and
Decision Support and Business Intlligence can work...
 Concrete standards like HL7 message
definitions, CDA schemas, standard UI formats
are DOWNSTREAM generations of operational
templates
 Key Requirements
 Operational Template is joining point
 Tooling is key
 Portable querying language is available; also
needs more tooling
