Topic: registry vs registry

I have had a few people confused around http://www.fhir.org/guides/registry vs http://www.fhir.org/guides/registry
Not a surprise given that we are transitioning. But it would be nice if the old registry would point at the new registry. When I told someone to checkout the FHIR Registry, they ended up at the old site and couldn't find the conformance resources that I had registered...

Should I see the same URL twice there?
John Moehrke (Dec 04 2017 at 15:04):
That is the new registry https://registry.fhir.org/

yeah, one should be confused by the same URL giving different results..... sorry, my keyboard-to-chair interface messed up... Should have been https://registry.fhir.org/

they are different registries. I do need to clarify the relationships
Richard Townley-O'Neill (Dec 04 2017 at 23:23):
Clarification would help.
For novices, and we hope to never run out of them, it would help to have a note at the top of each saying "See also https://etc".
John Moehrke (Dec 05 2017 at 13:21):
If they have different purposes then we need different names too. Calling them both a fhir registry is confusing. Adding narrative explanation is helpful, but will not be 'read' by 50%. Is this a short-term problem?
Michel Rutten (Dec 05 2017 at 14:08):
If I understand correctly (...):
- http://www.fhir.org/guides/registry is a registry for (rendered) FHIR implementation guides
- https://registry.fhir.org/ is a registry for FHIR conformance resources (profiles, valuesets etc.)
John Moehrke (Dec 05 2017 at 14:33):
additional clarification is that registry.fhir.org holds conformance resources from MANY publishers; where as guides/registry is less clear about who is published there. I think it is "Published by HL7, Affiliates & FHIR Foundation" according to the URL link found on the front page of the FHIR specification. Hence why this page exists for 'others' http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=FHIR_Profiles_from_other_Organizations.... Unfortunate politics?
John Moehrke (Dec 05 2017 at 14:39):
Which seems to indicate that what is today at guides/registry is still necessary as a place to publish the rendered content and stuff; but is not a 'registry'. It is a fhir.org/guides.... (without registry)... Which is a perfectly logical transition from short-term to long-term; as historically we didn't have registry.fhir.org (and it still is not yet stable).
Grahame Grieve (Dec 06 2017 at 20:53):
not sure what differentiation you are drawing about registries here, or what else you think it should be called
John Moehrke (Dec 06 2017 at 22:06):
sorry. The new registry.fhir.org is clearly what I would expect a "Registry" to be. Where the guides link seems more like a publication location, and not a registry. So I recommended that now that we have have registry.fhir.org; that we change the guide page to be more about publication of guides, and remove the word 'registry'.
