Re: [ohf-dev] Draft Eclipse OHF Plan for 2006

Hi Grahame, et al.

Attached please find some comments and inputs from the IBM Haifa team for
the EOHF 2006 plan.
Just to put thinks in context. IBM has two groups working on technologies
for EOHF - the Almaden group and the Haifa group.
Some of the activities will be jointly developed while others might be
developed by each group separately.
I believe Eishay will be the IBM's main contact point into the EOHF
project.

I have pasted the Draft Eclipse OHF Plan for 2006 below.
This is the committers review stage, cc: some interested
parties for comment also.

Committers: please review this. Have I been too specific
or to unspecific in any point?

Am I the only one who thinks that this work effort is
unrealistic? As committers, if we think this is unrealistic,
we better scale this back a bit. Note the milestone comments
at the end.

I'm seeking comment for 48 hours from now. At this point I
will release this as a draft on the newsgroup for wider
discussion. (Brian, I think, will miss comment in this
period - gone fishing or something)

Draft Eclipse OHF Plan for 2006


Overview

The 2006 OHF plan represents a first step towards the
goals outlined in the 2006 Eclipse Roadmap, which says:

  a future growth area for Eclipse is to extend our
  projects to provide open source application
  frameworks and exemplary tools targeted at standards

The long term goal of the OHF project is to meet these goals. For
the year 2006, the OHF project will be focusing on selected low
hanging fruit. Generally, the selection of the work
we propose to complete this year is based on one or
more of 3 factors:
 * availability of resources (both technical and business)
 * identification of a need in the industry
 * readiness of the appropriate standards

In the future, higher priority will be given to focusing
on a coherent and complete framework to support the
development of healthcare applications.

The 2006 plan is divided up by the project, generally following
the projects proposed at the face to face meeting in Washington,
October 2005.

This document is a draft; it will be finalised at the OHF FTF
meeting at Eclipse Con 2006 (Thurs afternoon).


IHE Profiles

OHF will begin publishing a exemplary implementation of a number
of IHE profiles. Theis year, we will release preliminary
implementations of the following IHE profiles:
* IHE XDS Source & Consumer Actors
* PIX client
* Consistent Time
* Document Digitial Signature
* ATNA (client side)
* Document Availability Notification
* Cross Enterprise User Authentication

We will work with the Almaden team on the PIX Client actor, and the XDS
source.
Specifically we are planning to integrate an existing Image Manager/Image
archive actor into the XDS environment and provide the XDS-I profile.
For that integration we plan to use the EOHF developed plug-ins. So we will
provide requirements for these plug-ins and we also plan to actively
participate in the development of these plug-ins.
We might also be able to collaborate with Impriva on the XUA development.
This is still depends on the amount of resources we will have.

We will work towards providing a coherent infrastructure and
framework for these IHE profiles which will be contributed
by several different members.


H3ET (HL7 V3 Eclipse Tools)

During 2006, we plan to release underlying V3 infrastructure,
specifically java class representations of HL7's MIF and
message formats along with the supporting code for persistence
and validation. In addition, we will formalise our relationship
with HL7, and investigate involvement in the HL7 HIMSS demo
for 2007.

In addition, as an adjunct to the V3 tools, we will also release
a set of V2 tools, that will support:
* a run-time framework for handling HL7 V2 messages and models.
* editing V2 Conformance profiles in Eclipse
* code generation from the conformance profiles to use the run-time
  framework.

We are very interested in taking part of this activity.
We going to be involved in several (at least two) projects this year that
requires HL7 V3 data mode and messages interface. We very much want to use
the H3ET for that. Can we participate in the development effort? Where can
we find more about this activity?
We also interesting in providing V2 to V3 transformation tools.
Again - our projects can be the first to use the H3ET and hence will
provide a set of tangible requirements.

CTS project

We will commit all the code that Mayo Clinic is donating
for CTS, LexGrid and the LexGrid editor to the Eclipse cvs.
We will create an Eclipse package for CTS consumers (i.e.
clients) to allow CTS consumers to delegate CTS provision to
run-time configuration. We will investigate CTS involvement
in the HL7 HIMSS demo for 2007, and we will publish a plan
for the longer term development of CTS.


Security

During the year 2006 we will hold regular teleconferences, along
with supporting email discussion. These telecons will lead to the
publication of an architecture for an integrated security framework
for helathcare applications, which will be a focus for OHF
development in future plans. The architecture will be integrated
with other Eclipse initiatives on security.


OSGi/Server

A preliminary implementation of OSGi on the geronimo server
architecture will be released in partnership with the equinox
project, and a test case implementation of CTS will be released.


DiCOM

A plugin representing a simple WADO client will be released, and will
serve as a basis for preparing an extensible architecture for a
standard WADO client.

As mention in earlier e-mail by Yossi - we are going to provide the WADO
Client and will hopefully have some working plug-in by end of third
quarter.

Organisational

We will hold at least 3 FTF (face-to-face) meetings. The meetings will
be held in conjunction with healthcare standards meetings or industry
conferences. Ongoing discussion for the time and place of these meetings
will be held on news:ohf.eclipse.org

In addition, we will update the web site, and thereafter keep it current.
We will keep records of OHF FTF meetings on the OHF web site.

Finally, we will define our Milestone releases for this year, in accordance
with this plan, at the FTF meeting on Mar 23 and publish these on our
website
and newsgroup.
