One of the items for discussion is the "straw man 2" generic metadata requirements model, with proposed XDS implementation - see Straw_Man2

Proposed and existing schemas

We are trying to gather together as many ideas and thoughts as possible, so that nothing is accidentally forgotten. If you have any schemas which you wish to add yourself, feel free add them to this list, either by uploading or via an external link:

• Dave Harvey's "straw man" suggestions
• Neelam Dugar's Doncaster specification as .doc or as .pdf
• Sintero Guidance
• Tim Benson's guidance
• XDS-I Metadata requirements
• Canada XDS-I Implementation Guide, for reference

Although the XDS-I rules are not a full metadata specification, the constraints they place on imaging metadata need to be considered if specifications for imaging and other documents are to be consistent. See section 4.68.4.1.2.3 within that document for details.

Research and supporting documents

Ann Wrightson kindly provided the following documents from HL7 in the US, who are looking at very much the same issue as we are:

• Standardizing Clinical Document Names in HL7
• HL7 Clinical Document Implementation Guide

The following link is from Ian McNicoll, outlining an approach using different filing schemes for different types of user:

• Docman National Folder Structure

And the slide set below provides a summary of how and why Docman is the way it is - thank you Ian!

• National Docman Conference 2014

Discussions

This wiki provides a means for sharing and recording discussions, including from those unable to attend the meetings/teleconferences. For now, there is just one simple page on "open issues" (mainly those made a comments on the straw man suggestions), but this could split into more specialized topic pages if necessary:

• Open Issues
• Use Cases
• Comments
• Consensus
