Harmonizing and extending standards from a domain-specific and bottom-up approach: an example from development through use in clinical applications

Conclusion We demonstrated the feasibility of using documentation artifacts in a bottom-up approach to develop common models and sets of terms that are complete from the perspective of clinical implementation. Importantly, we demonstrated a process by which a community of practice can contribute to closing gaps in existing standards using SDO processes.
