Discover the Journey Towards Healthcare Interoperability


ART-DECOR® is an open source tool suite that aims at interoperability solutions in the healthcare sector.
This year October 1st, it’s ART-DECOR’s 12th birthday. Reason enough to take a short look back in history and to look forward on what we call ART-DECOR Release 3. And the future starts now.
After the very first Release 3.0 in July that has been started as a Canary' Release, now Release 3.1 is out.

In this Release 3.1, the Project Panel (part 2), Datasets (part 2), Scenario’s (part 1), Terminology, Identifiers, OIDs and first Concept Maps are available to investigate. In addition, there are intense preparations underway to allow a transition and migration phase later in August, first for the Dutch community, later in September for everybody, to have both, Release 2 (Orbeon-based) and the new Release 3 software, in use for production. It is the plan to completely migrate all functionalities in Release 2 to Release 3, if approriate, and to close the use ofthe old  Release 2 software soon.
