Dr. John Madden entered the following  optional information in support of his/her request to 
join OpenDocument - Metadata :

*************************
I'm a physician (pathologist) on the faculty of Duke U Med Center. I'm on the Editorial Board on SNOMED International (medical vocabulary), member of the W3C Healthcare & Life Sciences SIG/Ontology TaskForce, and board of the Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP).
My interest is in document representation for the electronic health record, and in metadata embedding strategies that would support "intelligent" retrieval, documents-as-services, content re-use, etc. 
I'm very interested in keeping the embedding strategy and the semantics nicely orthogonal and fully uncoupled. I'd like it best if the strategy supported the existence of documents as queryable web objects (recognizing that OpenDocument  != XHTML !!!!)

If you have any questions with this process, please contact member-services@oasis-open.org

Thank you for your prompt attention this request and for your participation in OASIS.
