The long-term success of the PhysioVerse depends on governance systems that support transparency, distributed leadership, accountability, and sustainable growth using Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data principles. The PhysioVerse text is exploring a blended or federated governance models, drawing from best practices and principles established by groups like the Linux Foundation, Apache Foundation, GA4GH, and mature OSE, such as those in the telecommunications industry (e.g., O-RAN). Federated or blended models emerging as a preference governance format because it allows PhysioVerse to support community involvement and shared infrastructure without giving up vendor neutrality or industry partnerships. Given the types of research and products needed in the MPS systems domain, strong IP protection and licensing guidelines as well as long-term revenue and resource models will be critical.
