  2. Context Setting • Issue paper based on our participation and observations • Forwarded to M&M and limited distribution 2-3 weeks ago • Not just a Government Projects issue • We want to hear your comments

  3. Objectives • Ensure that Veterans Health Administration can continue to reap maximum benefits from HL7 • Minimize risks that we see as HL7 3.x moves forward • Take stock and apply lessons learned from the Version 3 processes

  4. Issues • Methodological • Focus and abstraction level of the RIM • Role and ability to apply RIM to non-messaging technologies • Notational • Style guide practices • Meta-model constraints
