Updates to FHIR terminlogy service

Michael Lawley from CSIRO here in Australia reviewed the terminology service spec for me.

he made a number of detailed observations which are now embedded in the spec for resolution.

The spec has moved - it’s now at http://hl7-fhir.github.io/terminology-service.html and I’m starting to build it more into the FHIR spec.

I need to work through Michael’s issues; some are simple clarifications, and some are open questions. In particular, these:

  • improve the definitions of mapping equivalence, and change “inexact” map to “overlap”
  • explain date of expansion better
  • paging on expansion if too long?
  • allow conceptmap to be specified for a translation?
    Comments are welcome on that?

Also, Josh Mandel from SMART presented a very coherent use case for batch validation. So I’m thinking that I’ll add that, since it was already discussed here, though comments are welcome
