  - See IPP WG minutes from 05/25/2017
  
  - MTConnect 
  - http://www.mtconnect.org/
    - Jim Williams (AMSC head) asked if PWG had looked into MTConnect
    - MTConnect has open IP policy (like PWG)
    - Monitors individual processes and state / status of individual elements 
      within the device
    - Seems to be complimentary / orthogonal to the PWG 
      (i.e., MT Connect is low-low level, while PWG is higher level)
    - So PWG/MTConnect partnership may be a good thing to pursue

  - IEEE P3333 (3DMA - Medical 3D Printing)
  - http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/3333/2/ 
    - AMSC wondered whether P3333 was in conflict with DICOM efforts
    - Works semantics for digital medical image rendering and printing

  - DICOM
  - http://dicom.nema.org/standard.html
