[Heig] Fwd: Obscore extension for HE data : gathering example datasets for clarification

Hi Mireille,

Making sample datasets available to the wider community to show precisely the datasets folks have in mind when writing a document and outlining use cases is a good idea.

I think it would be beneficial to have a HEIG meeting before the end of the year to discuss the highlights of the Interop and explore this topic further, as well as how we might set it up in Git if it’s agreeable across the group.  I’ll work with Bruno to set up the meeting.

Thanks,
-janet
