The OpenGALEN Manifesto

GALEN's slogan has always been: advanced terminology systems for clinical information systems. It is also open. Licenses to the GALEN Common Reference Model are free under the GALEN Open Source License.

This manifesto explains:

• why GALEN is open source
• what we think open source means in the context of clinical terminology development
• who OpenGALEN is
• what OpenGALEN does
• how an open-source clinical terminology is relevant to you
• why you shouldn't be afraid of using an open source resource
• How to join the OpenGALEN community
