Contributing to the Health-RI Semantic Interoperability Initiative
Contribution status while the initiative is paused
As of May 1, 2026, the initiative is formally paused. Contribution channels remain visible for transparency and archival continuity, but new submissions are not actively reviewed, curated, or scheduled for release at this time.
Feedback may still be submitted for future consideration, but no response timeline or integration commitment should be assumed.
We welcome community feedback and contributions to help improve the quality, coverage, and clarity of the models and ontologies developed as part of the Health-RI Semantic Interoperability Initiative.
To streamline the contribution process, we distinguish between time-bound calls for community review of specific domain models and ongoing contribution channels. These are described in more detail in the Call for Community Review and Contribution Channels pages, respectively.
To respond to a time-bound Call for Community Review, use the link below:
