OHDSI open source software ecosystem scope
The scope of officially supported OHDSI software was not well defined. The DARWIN-EU developed R packages served as a useful example for discussion. The question was whether the DARWIN-EU R packages were within scope of officially supported OHDSI software or were the OHDSI HADES the only officially supported OHDSI R packages? The TAB presentation demonstrated why there were legitimate differences in the approaches of the DARWIN R package design intent versus the OHDSI HADES R packages design intent. Both approaches have their merits.
Official OHDSI open source software includes OHDSI community developed software that provides significant benefit to the OHDSI community. The OHDSI TAB and OHDSI open source working group are intended to provide support and enable a path to help OHDSI open source maintainers promote their software to full OHDSI support where they demonstrate a significant benefit to the OHDSI community.
The OHDSI TAB / OHDSI open source working group should document the path to promote OHDSI community open source software to officially supported OHDSI open source software. The DARWIN-EU R packages are considered OHDSI supported software, alongside the OHDSI HADES R packages.
