David,
It might be worth going over a set of Use Cases to frame where transformation
(in both directions) between an HL7 message and RDF might be used.
In the FHIR - RDF scenario of consuming system and producing system (the
information source) the following patterns are options for consideration:
Consumer Producer Option Discussion
1 FHIR FHIR Standard FHIR
exchange - does not involve RDF (it is added for completeness)
2 FHIR RDF Producer converts Producer
accepts FHIR request and converts it to RDF query then converts response RDF to
FHIR
3 FHIR RDF Consumer converts Consumer
converts FHIR request to RDF request and converts response from RDF to FHIR
4 RDF FHIR Producer converts Producer
accepts RDF request and converts it to FHIR query then converts FHIR response
to RDF response
5 RDF FHIR Consumer converts Consumer
converts RDF request to FHIR request and converts response from FHIR to RDF
6 RDF RDF Standard RDF
exchange to agreed ontologies
I believe that the most likely options are 2 & 5 which make all the conversions
happen in the RDF based system.

Tony Mallia

Subject: San Antonio meeting planning -- Input please!
At the San Antonio HL7 meetings we will have a 1.5 hour meeting time in
the HL7 ITS work group on Monday Jan 18 at 9:00-10:30am. This will be
an opportunity with the rest of the ITS work group, and I would like people's
input about how they think we should make use of that time.
Bear in mind that aside from that scheduled time slot, we also plan to get
together informally to work intently on FHIR RDF, as permitted by participants'
availability. Hence the availability survey:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/S7B8HTY
Some potential topics for our 1.5 hour time slot with the rest of ITS:
- Update on the RDF group's progress in general
- Have someone lead a hands-on FHIR RDF hacking demo
- Hash out FHIR RDF/ontology requirements
- Other?
Please let me know your thoughts about what you think would be good to include
in that 1.5 hour slot.
Thanks,
David Booth
