Roadmap

Stated goals and direction, area by area, with the source that states each one. Everything here is a fact about what a deck, an issue, a plan document, or the project lead has said. Nothing here is a design proposal by this knowledgebase; proposals are a separate workstream. Where sources disagree, the disagreement is recorded rather than resolved, and collected in open questions.

• Roadmap 2026 - The project-level direction stated in the January 2026 status deck, the working group and use-case pipeline it proposes, and a per-repository summary of what is currently in flight.
• Finding model format evolution - The stated goals for where the Open Imaging Finding Model record format is going: the canonical structured-metadata rewrite, the source schema version 2 draft, relationship and graph ideas from the next-generation CDE work, versioning, and the discrepancies a revision would have to settle.
• Finding model content direction - Where the finding model corpus is going: the MGB exam-oriented sub-taxonomies as the content spine, the expected supersession of Gamuts-derived models, the triage of unmatched rows, the content batches in flight, the definition cleanup plan, and the open content issues.
• Imaging Problem List data model system - The stated goals for the Observation, Exam Finding List, and Imaging Problem List layer: the formal model system asked for in issue 1, the eight active plans on the development branch, the anatomic-compatibility follow-on, and the FHIR and IHE alignments that are documented but unimplemented.
• Exam types roadmap - The goals stated for an OIDM exam type layer, by whom and when, the one written design that exists, the building blocks a future effort would start from, and the questions no source answers.
• Anatomic locations and RadLex - The stated goals for the anatomic location set: incorporation into RadLex as an overlay, the node requests owed to the RadLex anatomy track, the two unreconciled datasets, the tooling items carried forward from the original libraries, and the body region enumerations that disagree.
• Open questions - Every conflict between sources and every unverified fact found while building this knowledgebase, grouped by area, with the sources on each side and the owner where one is indicated.
