Is it possible to use a FHIR server as an ISO 11179 compatible Metadata Registry (MDR) ?

Take a look at the SDC-DE IG. (Note that there's been no work on this for quite some time.)

The IHE QRPH domain has some work relative to Structured Data Capture (SDC) and ISO 11179. https://www.ihe.net/uploadedFiles/Documents/QRPH/IHE_QRPH_Suppl_SDC.pdf
also

I don't know what they have done relative to FHIR.

@Lloyd McKenzie @John Moehrke Thanks. Theoretically, at least a terminology server could do so. And some people reported such an approach but I don't remember it.
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 11 2021 at 00:13):
Terminology server wouldn't be good about exposing data types, cardinality constraints, terminology bindings, etc. Data elements are really not the same as codes. In FHIR, you best represent them using ElementDefinition (and collections of them, including singleton collections) using StructureDefinition.
Lin Zhang (Mar 11 2021 at 00:21):
@Lloyd McKenzie Appreciate that. I will read these materials @John Moehrke and you mentioned.
