@MelaniePhilofsky - this PR creates a document that describes, in detail, the requirements for formalizing extension tables to the OMOP CDM. Your feedback during the WaveformWG presentation at the steering committee meeting was the impetus for this doc, and it has broad implications for at least five OHDSI working groups. I didn't follow the standard THEMIS workflow of -> Issue, Themis Meeting/Discussion, PR - simply because this is a convention not necessarily related to ambiguity in the OMOP data model itself, but rather in extending that model. I'd be happy to present the contents of this doc at an upcoming THEMIS call if you'd like, though it was my understanding that folks generally agreed that we should follow the approach taken by the Imaging WG when creating extensions, and I've tried to capture their approach here.
