Accelerates Global Collaboration to Develop and Use Shared Toolset

IHTSDO will also make a number of seats on the collaborative web-based environment used to host the Workbench available free of charge to open source developers. “Open sourcing the IHTSDO Workbench will make it easier for developers from around the world to work together to further develop these tools,” said John Gutai, IHTSDO’s chief technical architect. “It also means that organizations and standards bodies from around the world can use the same tools to maintain their own terminologies and coding systems, leveraging the investment that IHTSDO and its Members have made.”
