Topic: expand and designations

Hi, I have a CodeSystem organizationType that contains designations for the concepts. For example:
<concept>
<code value="hospital"/>
<display value="Krankenhaus"/>
<designation>
<language value="en"/>
<use>
<system value="http://snomed.info/sct"/>
<code value="900000000000003001"/>
</use>
<value value="Hospital"/>
</designation>
<designation>
<language value="de"/>
<use>
<system value="http://snomed.info/sct"/>
<code value="900000000000003001"/>
</use>
<value value="Krankenhaus"/>
</designation>
</concept>
The corresponding ValueSet contains the complete CodeSystem.
<ValueSet xmlns="http://hl7.org/fhir">
<compose>
<include>
<system value="https://example/fhir/CodeSystem/organizationType" />
</include>
</compose>
</ValueSet>
When I $expand the ValueSet the designations have disappeared. I saw in the ValueSet definition, that I can add designations in the expand element. Do I have to add designations also in the ValueSet? Why it’s not enough to put designations in the CodeSystem? I use Vonk.Server/3.1.1.

Don't know about Vonk but generally you can instruct server to include designation by using $expand?includeDesignations=true. Again, this depends on if the server supports includeDesignations parameter.

Thank you for the hint. I tried it, but seems that the server does not support it.
Katarina (Mar 09 2020 at 16:16):
To the ValueSet I added expansion element with designations. But even then designations are not shown with $expand.
How can I find out, if vonk supports designations and what can I configure that it does?

@Katarina: Sorry, the Vonk server only has limited support for terminology operations, as listed in our documentation. We are working on adding extra terminology support as @Christiaan Knaap mentioned in this thread.
