Eclipse and Healthcare


Call to Action

Eclipse and OMG intend to work together to solicit supporters for Eclipse-based open source projects focused on implementing OMG and related Healthcare standards

We are looking for organizations to support this effort.


What Is Eclipse?

Eclipse is an open source community focused on developing a universal platform of frameworks and exemplary tools that make it easy and cost-effective to build and deploy software in today’s connected and unconnected world.

Eclipse is supported by major software vendors, solution providers, corporations, educational and research institutions and individuals working together to create an eco-system that enhances, promotes and cultivates the Eclipse open platform with complementary products, services and capabilities.


Momentum Around Eclipse

Initiated by IBM in 2001 and supported by a wide range of vendors.Original Consortium board comprised Borland, IBM, MERANT, QNX Software Systems, Rational Software, Red Hat, SuSE, TogetherSoftand Webgain

Now an independent open source community supported by over 60 corporations and hundreds of developers

Originally conceived as a Java IDE, and has evolved into one of the largest and most active open source communities

“Within the tools market, the options have narrowed to two front-line players: MS Visual Studio family, and the Eclipse based technologies…”

• Averages 10K daily

• Over 3.5 million download requests in May (Eclipse 3.0 beta)

• Currently averaging 7K newsgroup/mailing list posting per month

• From over 640,000 unique organizations (network addresses) in over 125 countries

• Most represent firewalls fronting multiple users

• One download can serve an entire organization

• Served from 41 worldwide shadow download servers in 22 countries

Eclipse and Modeling

Eclipse has numerous projects today which have strong ties to OMG specifically and modeling in general

EMF - a modeling framework and code generation facility for building tools and other applications based on a structured data model in XMI, Java, XML or imported directly from modeling tools

GEF - allows developers to take an existing application model and quickly create a rich graphical editor

UML2 - an EMF-based implementation of the UML 2.0 metamodel for the Eclipse platform

GMT - tools for model driven software development with fully customisablePlatform Independent Models, Platform Description Models, Texture Mappings, and Refinement Transformations

OMELET – a framework for integrating arbitrary models, model transformations and model representations

New projects are coming in the MDA arena very soonMany commercial modeling products are based on Eclipse: Borland,Rational


Eclipse and Healthcare


Why Open Source?Open source allows multiple stakeholders to share the cost and benefits of a single shared implementation

Vendors, customers and standards bodies can all participate as equals

Multiple groups can participate in the architecture and in the support of a freely available framework

Multiple benefits for adopters:Open source allows for easier understanding of a framework

Trace issues through the actual source codeDon’t have to rely on only incomplete documentation

Easy to workaround issues by modify source code and shipping it with your product.Open source project continues to fix defects and enhance the software No royalty for redistribution.


Open Source: The Next Step

1980’s

2000’s

1990’sProprietary solutions – technology driven by vendors. Focus on barriers to entry and economic rents for vendors

Consumer-driven demand for open standards and inter-operability. Implementations remain proprietary.

Shared, open source implementation of standards. Vendors focus on differentiation and services.


The Business Model for Open Source and Open Standards

Shared implementations of standards:Save time to market

Increase rate of standards adoption

Reduce risk

Provide thought leadership and first mover advantages to supporting vendors

Yes, open source means shareholder value!

Vendors who share open source implementations still competeProduct differentiating features

Service, support

Branding, routes to market


Why Eclipse?

The Eclipse community is unique in its focus on the commercial adoption of its technologies

Eclipse has focused on ensuring that its licensing model is wellsuited for commercial adoption

The Eclipse open source community is unique in its attempt to create support many projects sharing a common vision and releaseroadmap

The core values of Eclipse software development creates great communities building high quality software

Openness, Transparency, Meritocracy


A Framework for Eclipse in Healthcare

The Eclipse philosophy is to build extensible frameworks which address a particular problem domain and provide exemplary toolsto demonstrate the use of those frameworks

Eclipse creates tools for:Methodology developers

Tool developers

Developers

Our projects are complementary to existing runtimes and standards implementations

A Healthcare project would leverage all of the pre-existing Eclipse technology, plus the momentum of the Eclipse eco-system


Call to Action

Eclipse and OMG intend to work together to solicit supporters for Eclipse-based open source projects focused on implementing OMG and related Healthcare standards

We are looking for organizations to support this effort.
