This site is an experiment in developing and using social network software, as part of the development of IMIA's Web 2.0 capacity. We are exploring what Web 2.0 (and beyond) has to offer, and how best various options can be used by IMIA (the International Medical Informatics Association).

This is contributing to the implementation of the IMIA Strategic Plan - the motto of this, courtesy of Nancy Lorenzi, is 'let a thousand flowers bloom' - hence, the current background graphic.

The IMIA Strategic Plan is on the IMIA website at >>>

This pilot is part of the work of the IMIA web 2.0 Exploratory Taskforce - see www.differance-engine.net/imia20
