  1. Liaison Report on ISO Charles Parisot Lawrence Tarbox Hidenori Shinoda 9/2,3/2004 Munich

  2. Last ISO/TC215 meeting was held in May in Washington, D.C. • The last meeting was held on May 9-13. • Charles Parisot, Lawrence Tarbox, Hidenori Shinoda, and Howard Clark attended the meeting. • There was no discussion on WADO, but Nicholas Brown reported on the status of the document. • Ballot voting for WADO as a DIS was closed on July 13th. It was successfully approved by the TC. Nicholas announced it would be International Standard in a couple of months.

  3. Last Meeting – to be continued • Charles presented about the decision on making DICOM as an ISO standard that was made in this April at a meeting of WG2. • He focused the importance of relationship between ISO and DICOM, largeness of volume of DICOM standards, short cycle of developing and correcting the standards, etc. • He also suggested DICOM to be referred form ISO documents. • There were no clear objections nor critics. But there was one comment that requested us there should be brief explanation of what DICOM standard is when ISO standards refer to the DICOM standards. • This presentation and discussion was not explained at the closing plenary.

  4. Others • Ed Hammond retired the position of WG chair. Melvin Reynolds of UK takes the position. Adrian Stokes of UK was assigned as a secretary of WG2. • Ed Hammond was recommended as an ambassador of healthcare informatics for developing countries. • Joint Working Groups meeting will be held between September 12th and 14th in San Francisco.

  5. DICOM Strong cooperation with TC215 (liaison A, WADO, joint WG2 yearly meeting) Strong desire to further expand cooperation. DICOM publication as an ISO standard on-going discussion: DICOM is a set of 16 documents (about 3000 pages) Available for free distribution from dicom.nema.org Active extensions (15 supplements/year) and maintenance (50 corrections/year). Republishing as an ISO Standard and establishing on-going maintenance appears a rather big task. DICOM has been consulting with the ISO secretariat and would like to propose the following alternative: Do nothing, assuming that the international acceptance of DICOM is sufficient Follow the CEN approach to issue a brief standard (scope + normative references (ISO directives part 2-6.2.2) to DICOM parts).
