Topic: importig CodeSystem with empty concept

hi everyone,
I've go an issue importing the german basic profile in hapi fhir 5.1. The issue is that the CodeSystem.concept is empty. My question is how can I import them ? Should I disable the validation, import them & then enable the validation again ?
Thank you in advance

what version of FHIR, what's the value for content?

Gjergj Sheldija (Aug 18 2020 at 06:06):

hi,
FHIR R4. the files are form german base profile, the file is https://simplifier.net/packages/de.basisprofil.r4/0.9.11/files/142290/~json
thank you for checking

Grahame Grieve (Aug 18 2020 at 06:24):

then that shouldn't be a problem to load. What's the error and where does it come from?

Gjergj Sheldija (Aug 18 2020 at 06:28):

the error comes from the HAPI FHIR server : Profile http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/shareablecodesystem, Element 'CodeSystem.concept': minimum required = 1, but only found 0

Grahame Grieve (Aug 18 2020 at 06:32):

well, it's not valid then. you can remove the profile claim...

Gjergj Sheldija (Aug 18 2020 at 06:33):

then I guess it makes sense to open an issue with the creators. Thank you!

Mareike Przysucha (Aug 18 2020 at 07:32):

@Gjergj Sheldija Do you mean with creators us from HL7 Germany?

Gjergj Sheldija (Aug 18 2020 at 08:08):

@Mareike Przysucha yes

Gjergj Sheldija (Aug 18 2020 at 08:12):

wanted to create an issue here https://github.com/hl7germany/basisprofil-de-r4/issues

Mareike Przysucha (Aug 18 2020 at 08:36):

I am asking because of this:
HL7 international also published empty codesystem here, e.g. http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/icnp. We followed this example, e.g. in https://simplifier.net/Basisprofil-DE-R4/alpha-id-duplicate-2 or in https://simplifier.net/Basisprofil-DE-R4/icd-10-gm-duplicate-2/~xml.

So I don't understand why it is okay for HL7 to publish empty code systems, and there is a problem with our code systems. Unless I missed a codesystem with a missing content-field, which might be possible.

Gjergj Sheldija (Aug 18 2020 at 08:37):

in their case they did not define a profile

Gjergj Sheldija (Aug 18 2020 at 08:38):

at least that's what i can see from comparing https://terminology.hl7.org/1.0.0/CodeSystem-icnp.json.html with https://simplifier.net/packages/de.basisprofil.r4/0.9.11/files/142290/~json

Mareike Przysucha (Aug 18 2020 at 08:39):

So the problem is the meta-tag?

Gjergj Sheldija (Aug 18 2020 at 08:40):

looks like
for the moment i'm testing a quick script with jq to strip that element and test importing all the files

Gjergj Sheldija (Aug 18 2020 at 08:41):

it makes sense, according to the doc https://www.hl7.org/fhir/resource.html#Meta > profile states : An assertion that the content conforms to a resource profile
