Important
Initiative status: The Health-RI Semantic Interoperability Initiative was formally paused on May 1, 2026 and has since been discontinued.
No further development, curation, community review, or release activity is planned under this initiative. Existing documentation, released artifacts, persistent identifiers, and repository materials remain available as archival resources for reference, reuse, and citation. They are not actively maintained, and known limitations may remain unresolved.
See Initiative Status for details.
This repository hosts the archived source files for the Health-RI Semantic Interoperability Initiative documentation site, which documents the initiative's approach to enabling semantic interoperability in health and life sciences.
