Dear all,
I would like to get some feedback on the following new pages:
These can all be reached from the first page. I would propose to hook them into the website as follows:
-
put a hotlink to Vision 2008 (or maybe just ‘Vision’) and maybe separately Roadmap 2008 on the home page.
-
also link the Vision page under the About Us top-level menu item - or would the Community meny item be better?
-
link the specifications ones off the specifications project page
-
link the Clincal one off the Clinical models menu item
-
announce the pages on the mailing lists
-
add a news item indicating a new Vision & Roadmap statements
None of this are set in stone - they will change somewhat as time goes on. My questions:
-
do the page titles seem reasonable? I suspect we should just make the Vision 2008 → Vision (we are nearly half way into 2008 for one thing)
-
does the content seem reasonable?
-
do the linking proposals seem reasonable?
I will be away for the next week from Sunday, I am hoping that you will get some time to review these pages and provide feedback. I am back on 1 May.
thanks,

Great work! Very useful information!
I think these documents should go public as soon as possible so that
they can be discussed and used in planning of various projects. If the
changes to the web can't be made before 1 May I'd sugest that you post
the four direct links to at least the technical mailing list ASAP
(e.g. today) to broaden the discussion of the content.
For example I would like to discuss the late scheduling of TDS and
what could be done to help schedule it earlier, but that should not be
on this mailinglist, make the pages public so that we can start the
discussion on another list.
If TDS was available today we would not risk ending up with a set of
InterSystems homegrown archetype-influenced XSDs as I fear will happen
for the very much rushed first phase of the national Swedish pateient
overview...
...but let's take that on another list.

Hi Thomas,
Just back from an SEO meeting for the Ocean website, so definitely not a guru here, so anyone chip in…
There is enormous value in naming pages very specifically so that this contributes to the way Google and other search engines pick up and display pages.
So directly applying their advice to us would suggest making the openEHR Vision 2008 page should be named - http://www.openehr.org/openEHR_vision_2008.html etc. Perhaps even consider creating an openEHR Vision folder, into which the 2008 copy, then 2009, 2010 etc will be placed.
Similarly “openEHR Specifications”, “openEHR Roadmap”, “openEHR Strategic Directions” folders, perhaps. Worth considering if we want to raise the openEHR profile in the search engines.

Hi,
Generally agree with Leslie's comments, but would like to add that it is
the page title which makes most difference to search engines like
Google, and these pages already have sensible page titles.
Are you expecting to have annual "Visions"? In which case the
suggestion to have a folder called visions with pages for 2008, 2009,
etc. might make sense, overwise you may be better off not including the
year, as this will date the page very quickly.

*Back from the tropics.....I think we are most likely to have a single
Vision page that changes over time, but not too much - probbaly just
expands. One could expect a Technical Vision page, a Clinical Vision
page and so on. I don't have strong feelings so feel free to say what
you think would work better. However, for the Roadmap pages, that is
obviously going to be annual - that is what people expect.
