Does Eclipse formally define the terms "framework" and "platform" anywhere?
Is this project building a framework or a platform or both?
The initial scope of this project should be limited to the implementation of
a clearly specifed core framework in direct support of healthcare
workstation and embedded applications. This core framework should provide
the functionality and define the extension points available to application
developers and those supplying additional framework and platform extensions
down the road. Extensions that handle specific processing requirements (e.g.
HL7 messages, HL7 CDA, DICOM or Terminology) should be developed outside
this project.
Essential healthcare infrastructure services of the core framework should
include security/privacy, transport and semantic interoperability,
structured document/message processing, workstation-centric process support
and domain resource management--but only in the "framework" sense. Any
specific realizations should be basic or exemplary in nature. Basic tool
support for the framework should remain in scope.
If this core framework is well-defined and well-implemented, it will provide
a sound base for further evolution. Other healthcare industry stakeholders
can immediately build upon, extend and contribute to it with confidence.
