Is this correct?

Expanding a value set that is specififed by the client (using JSON):

POST [base]/ValueSet/23/$expand
[other headers]

{
  "resourceType" : "Parameters",
  "parameter" : [
     {
     "name" : "valueSet",
     "resource" : {
       "resourceType" : "ValueSet",
     [value set details]
     }
   }
  ]
}

I'd expect this query to go against POST [base]/ValueSet/$expand not POST [base]/ValueSet/23/$expand

...I mean "correct" besides the obvious typo in "specififed" ? :D

Grahame Grieve (Jun 24 2016 at 19:57):

I think so

Simone Heckmann (Jun 24 2016 at 21:00):

But then: which ValueSet would be expanded? The one with the id 23 or the one provided in the body of the request?

Peter Jordan (Jun 25 2016 at 01:38):

That's an interesting question, @Simone Heckmann. If the ValueSet id is provided in the URL of a POST request, my server will use that as the identifier of the ValueSet, rather than any value in the _id, identifier or URL parameters supplied in the request body. It would be informative to know how other Terminology Servers handle this use case.
