Agenda/Minutes:

. Agenda Review: o Scope o Approach . Leadership . Sequence o Begin Review

 Existing CMETs are inadequate – not fully supporting clinical genomics, or anatomic pathology  We want to make sure that the base model and the CMETS are compatible  Is the Specimen Identifier part of the scope? o We will look at being able to represent a specimen identifier, but not what the right format/content should be. The AP project will focus on that, e.g., is GS1, OID, something else the right format/method/approach and how to commit everybody to using the same format. o In the Specimen project we have to make sure we can support that format wherever we include the specimen identifier as an attribute.  Are we also going to consider how best to represent original specimen information when submitting isolates? o We should.  Will we support multiple specimenIDs and link them? o Need to be agnostic to what the content looks like, we decide here that we can accommodate the different formats used in practice. AP is working on the actual content – contact John David Nolen to participate there.  We should first review DAM (OO, CG, II, AP), then look at the CMETs (CG,II, AP) and SPM, what about specimen identifier  We clarified the scope of the project and identified four areas: o Complete DAM incorporating various use cases (OO, CG, II, AP) o Complete Specimen V3 models based on other use cases (CG, II, AP) o Consider V2 Updates o Support Specimen Identifier formats as further established by AP workgroup  Motion to accept scope as defined. Riki Merrick, Joyce Hernandez o Against: 0; Abstain: 0; In Favor: 12  Lorraine will create an updated Project Statement for review based on refined scope. Dependency on CG project.  We can possibly work in parallel on CMETs and v2 updates.

Leadership / Approach

 We agreed to follow this sequence with leads listed for each step

1. Review/refine DAM – Joyce Hernandez, Mukesh Sharma 2. Starting point: NCI Life Sciences DAM: Specimen Core. 3. V3 CMET/RMIM compare + updates – Lorraine Constable 4. V2 SPM compare + updates – Riki Merrick, Hans Buitendijk 5. Validate Specimen Identifier format support.

 When we get to steps 2/3 we will determine what can be done in parallel vs. sequential.  Hans will be available for most of the calls, so we can have his webex pretty regularly and he will help with admin call parts  Lorraine: Update project scope statement #682: Lorraine will draft scope update after to- day’s call for review next time.  CG has only subset of classes of the, but for here we should start with the NCI life sciences DAM using the specimen core

Introduction to current DAM context

 Lisa Schick stepped us through the caBIG presentation
