HL7 Terminology / Unified Terminology Governance (THO/UTG) | 10 | RD/JB | - Release of THO (RD will provide update)
- Per Grahame: broken links in FHIR core spec as a result of changes made to THO
- requesting an update be made to accommodate / fix links
- Now planning an ad hoc early September freeze: 9/5
- Mark can start publication process so tooling can be updated prior to publication
- JB: Does GH need an update / publication to support ballot?
- RM: no update is needed until GH gets into the ballot reconciliation process
- There will be an update needed based on those changes
- JB: next planned release is Oct 27-ish...will that work?
- RM: policy development... THO release is needed both for ballots as well as for publication (after ballot reconciliation)
- JB: there is a goal to not respond to individual requests, but to have IG development process align with the established schedule
- RM: content developers need to be able to develop content before it get moves into THO.
- JB: is concerned with FHIR core. Adding content to the FHIR spec that is intended to reside in THO. Would like to take this issue off-line.
- E-vote for review of terminology expectations for IG developers
- Many CodeSystems use terminology.hl7.org urls when they should be hl7.org/fhir
FHIR-37440
-
Getting issue details...
STATUS
- Michael Faughn extracted code systems and value sets based on url (resources matched by id) from the THO/FHIR NPM packages
- There are 72 Code Systems that have been identified as potential duplicates across FHIR and THO, 18 of which have a different url anchor (hl7.org/fhir vs. terminology.hl7.org) and 16 were identified to have differences with concepts.
- Discussed discrepancies on FMG call last week
- Grahame will help resolve duplicates and will involve resources where there are conflicts in the content between duplicate resources
- This won't be done prior to R5 freeze, but can be addressed before publication of R5
- FMG would like these changes in before ballot (9/14) so the changes need to be in by 9/4
- Lloyd M estimates reconciliation for R5 will be complete in Spring 2023
- (in chat) MF: Was it if a url change meant it was a new code system?
- (in chat) RM: new code systems are given a new identifier (url, oid) But giving something another identifier does not mean it must be a different code system
- Versioning policy for UTG/THO
- Reuben to provide update on first meeting - weekly Wednesdays 4p EASTERN
- This week's discussion topic: HL7 terminology systems in THO
- Standard copyright for HL7 content
- Raising suggestion to have a standard copyright statement for content maintained and published by HL7
- Dan V to chat with Grahame and agrees more discussion is needed
