correct concepts from the correct terminologies can be a time consuming and error prone process.  Tooling should be integrated with the metadata modeling process to facilitate the reuse of standard semantics when reusing standard information models or common data elements.  This is especially important when deriving a model from a Domain Analysis Model (DAM).

Information Modeler

A model has been created and reuses one or more common data elements and/or is derived from a standard analysis model.

The "correct" semantic concepts are selected for reused data elements.

1. The Information Modeler enters the flow for adding semantic concepts from controlled terminologies to the model
2. A list of likely candidate concepts are presented for each data element that is produced from the information model
3. The Information Modeler is able to select those concepts that will be reused, add to them, and remove from the list
4. The Information Modeler saves the concepts into the model

None.

• It is highly desirable that this functionality be accessible directly within existing tooling, such as the modeling tool or the SIW
• The process should be as simple as possible and user friendly

In addition to providing initial suggestions based on reused metadata, it may also be desirable to restrict the available terminologies for concept selection.  For example, specific domains may have terminologies that may be more appropriate than others, and different terminology services may be more appropriate for use when deriving from Domain Analysis Models (DAMs).

4. The Information Modeler saves the concepts into the model

The Information Modeler is able to broaden his search to other terminologies or terminology services if desired

While it is desirable for Information Modelers to have concept selection more easily facilitated, it is also desirable for Compatibility Reviewers to have review of reused concepts and terminologies more easily facilitated.  Tooling should exist that performs side-by-side automated and manual comparison of concept reuse.

Information Modeler

An Information Modeler has created an information model, associated terminologies and concepts, and registered the model.

The Compatibility Reviewer completes his assessment of terminology and concept reuse.

1. The Compatibility Reviewer enters the portion of the review process related to terminology and concept reuse
2. For each reused data element, the terminologies used are presented by the review system side-by-side with those from the original data element and differences are highlighted
3. For each reused data element, the concepts used are presented by the review system side-by-side with those from the original data element and differences are highlighted
4. A report is automatically generated for the Compatibility Reviewer by the review system
5. The Compatibility Reviewer is able to note potential problems with reuse as it relates to caBIG standards

None.
