Semantic Web Health Care and Life Sciences Charter Questionnaire

A variety of work items have been suggested for the successor to HCLSIG. The next section, Common Activities, lists general work items that apply to Biological Sciences, Tailored Therapeutics and Translational Medicine, Drug Safety and Health Care. If there are work items you would like to participate in, or which you feel need W3C attention, please list them in the space provided at the end of the questionnaire.

Next to each potential area of work listed below is a participation column with the following choice menu:

• will participate: I or someone from my organization is very likely to participate; this is not a commitment.
• might participate: My organisation is interested, but we don't know well enough to guess our participation level.
• important for W3C: My organization is unlikely to participate but I/we still consider that W3C should do this work.
• inappropriate for W3C: This work should not be done (at this time), or should be done by another body. (The options will and might presume that the work is appropriate.)
• no answer: None of these answers seem appropriate. (Please indicate why in the comments box to the right.)

To the right of that is a comments field for comments on this work item. The field has no text limit.

Many of the work items use weak verbs like "help" or "facilitate". This is because we don't want to prescribe a particular deliverable in the wording of the work item. You may indicate your preferred deliverables in the deliverables question or specify it in the comments section next to the work item.
