I believe you have good intentions, but someone would need to build it out and sell it. And it requires lots of maintenance. It’s too boring for an open source community.
There’s a whole industry that attempts to do what you do and there’s a reason why protocols keep getting punted back to pdf.
I agree it would be great to release structured representations. But I don’t think there’s a standard for that representation, so it’s kind of tricky as who will develop and maintain the data standard.
I worked on a decision support protocol for Ebola and it was really hard to get code sets released in Excel. Not to mention the actual decision gates in a way that is computable.
I hope we make progress on this, but I think the incentives are off for the work to make the data structures necessary.
