FHIR Chat · Mime Type for Turtle

yo: @Eric Prud'hommeaux. We've just been reviewing mime type handling in FHIR. We're using text/turtle for RDF... but that has some corner cases that are less than optimal - for instance, it means that we can't handle Turtle in the Binary resource, which is an external content wrapper.

it would be good if W3C registered a +ttl extension in the MIME type extensions registry

Grahame Grieve (Jul 04 2016 at 20:15):

then we could use application/fhir+ttl for the RDF format

how are Binary resources with XML, JSON or ASN.1 handled?

Grahame Grieve (Jul 05 2016 at 12:36):

difference between mime type application/xml and application/fhir+xml

Eric Prud'hommeaux (Jul 05 2016 at 12:50):

i need to learn about Binary. it's XML or JSON on the outside with an binary center right?

it's a reosurce that has a core that is 'something else'. It has a thin wrapper that allows you to embed the 'other stuff' inside a bundle in the API, or read or write the content in the wrapper - if you ask for it with a non-FHIR mime type
