Topic: Mapping FHIR Ontology to an EHR's FHIR Services
Adolph Trudeau (Apr 21 2020 at 17:58):
My institution desires to link an EHR's FHIR web services to the semantic information available from the HL7 FHIR RDF. At a high level this might be performed by mapping an ontological definition name “Observation” to what the EHR describes as the service name or UrlTemplate.
-
Has anyone performed this or know of it being performed?
-
Are there any best practices or applications for linking an ontology to a service?
Many thanks!

(six months later) i'm not sure if this is helpful, but I've been polishing HAPI FHIR's support for FHIR/RDF. If you're getting an e.g. Observation from a HAPI server, you can ask for it directly in RDF (Turtle). The FHIR ontology type annotation would just be the rdf:type of the returned resource.
