Ideas that need more room.

Long-form writing on semantic interoperability, healthcare data, governance and the structures that preserve meaning as information moves between systems, models and contexts.

These papers explore the questions underneath implementation: not only whether data can move, but whether its meaning survives the journey.

Meaning Before Models

The knowledge layer between source data and representation

Healthcare interoperability often focuses on models, profiles and exchange formats. But before information can be represented consistently, its meaning has to be made explicit, governed and preserved.

Meaning Before Models explores what has to exist between source data and its eventual representation — and why semantic governance becomes increasingly important as information travels further from its original context.
