  • DSTU document updates - Review status of our DSTU QA review tasks and work on remaining updates:
  • Rob has been reviewing old call minutes to ensure all comments to already addressed items have been removed
  • Ok to top align the entries
  • Remove double “Note:” and replace with paragraph spacing instead
  • Cleaning up capitalization in the glossary table – keep capitalization only for HL7 related classes
  • Remove the entry for connection
  • Set in parenthesis (in the context of HL7 / SNOMED CT)
  • Remove entry for scope – not used in this document – we use scope in the normal language sense, except as a verb in a glossary entry, but even there it is understandable
  • System – remove both entries
  • Remove all header letter sections, where we have no entries
  • Remove all entries that just reference another row for the same concept and add the abbreviation to that entry instead
  • Terminology definition is from 1990s - having two definitions is uncommon – find a better reference – compare to vocabulary entry – Daniel will look for other ISO definition we can use

  • Remove extra empty rows

Rob will send out the updated version to this group
