• Upcoming Agenda (6/13?)  Christian Reich to discuss OMOP Vocabulary copyright agreements with SNOMED CT.  If Rob McClure is not available, should we reschedule?

Excerpt from a recent OHDSI Forum post: 

"...5.1. SNOMED International grants OHDSI access to SNOMED CT during the Term for the sole purpose of, and solely to the extent necessary for use only in OHDSI products that are available on the GitHub OHDSI organization (OHDSI products), such as OMOP CDM, Athena, Atlas, etc. Use of SNOMED CT extracted from OHDSI products and used locally by OHDSI users are not included in the Agreement and users should be directed to contact SNOMED International for license for use.

Bottom line: You can use it for ETLing OMOP CDM instances, and it can show up in OHDSI tools. This is the legal description for “you can do observational research in OHDSI”. What you cannot do is to extract it for other purposes or redistribute it further. What they really are allergic to is use in any patient care products (EHR, imaging systems, lab systems, pathology systems etc.)."

  • TSMG Agenda Item: Passport Only, Drivers License Number Only, International, U.S. sub-tabs
  • Status update?
  • DG: Moves that tabs be added to the page indicating categories of identifiers emulating the External Code systems page.  JB Seconds.  Motion passes 8-0-0
• People are using identifiers from oidref.com such as https://oidref.com/2.16.840.1.113883.4.290 in their implementations
  
  • RM suggests the External Terminology Policy should be be easier to find
  • Rob: the use of OIDs in some (eg: USCore) publications have occurred becuase the WG found these as a fit for their purposes when there are canonical URLs available... should TSMG consider retrieving these and enforce policy changes?
• HTA-69 - Adding CLINVAR-RS IN PROGRESS
  • • Requested additional on how this star rating system would be used as a code system
    • ClinVar reference page: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/docs/review_status/
    • The code system criteria are not present / demonstrated in the ClinVar "star rating" per review and discussion.  The TSMG is in agreement that if a request is made and the TSMG agrees with the HTA that the code system breaks the conventions (ie: uniqueness / persistence) then the recommendation is that the TSMG / HTA will work with the requestor to  develop approaches to use the content in a "non-code system" manner, but that the request will be denied and the ticket will be closed.
    • Rob M:  it would be expedient for the future if there is a denial under these circumstances, then this be recorded in such as way as to be referenceable and the request not be posed again in the future.

  • Report on Deprecation Policy and Implementation
    • Started discussion with Lloyd to render identifier.period for tracking deprecated identifiers for code systems and value sets
      • This would require a change to the IG Publisher and there was some disagreement on the best way to track the identifiers (identifier.period vs. naming system) however the deprecation task force found many issues using naming systems for this purpose
