<font color="#ff0000"><b>Collaboration with other HL7 Work Groups</b>: With the broader scope of BRIDG 4.0 and following versions covering translational research and the harmonization of Life Sciences Model and CDISC Pharmogenomic & Pharmocogenetics domains, it is likely that there is some overlap of concepts between BRIDG Biospecimen subdomain concepts and the models being developed in the HL7 Orders & Observations (O&O), Clinical Genomics (CG), and Anatomic Pathology work groups.  BRIDG recognizes these work group models as peer or sibling models and is committed to working with the work group members to align on common semantics.  The BRIDG team has started the conversation with the work groups to this effect and plans to continue the dialogue on how to operationalize the collaboration and leverage the subject matter expertise of these HL7 group members.  </font><br/>
