Topic: Changing CodeSystem URIs
Patrick Werner (Oct 04 2018 at 18:26):
We are currently revising the existing and missing CodeSystem URIs for #genomics . It is unclear at the moment if the existing URIs which are pointing outside of http://hl7.org/fhir were published by the publisher of the code systems.
So we could come to the conclusion that it is necessary to change system URIs listed here under genetics: http://build.fhir.org/terminologies-systems.html to comply to 4.1.2 Choosing a system

umm didn't follow your grammar
Patrick Werner (Oct 04 2018 at 18:29):
We want to comply with An http: address SHOULD resolve to some useful description of the code system. Ideally, if a user makes a request of the address with the media type set to a FHIR media type, the server will respond with a CodeSystem resource, but some other human or computable definition is allowed as these are external CodeSystems with URIs pointing outside of FHIR we can't guarantee that atm.
Patrick Werner (Oct 04 2018 at 18:31):
The question would be if all implementers are agreeing to these changes and how to identify all implementers
Grahame Grieve (Oct 04 2018 at 18:33):
it seems that you are drawing the conclusion that references cannot be external because of the note about the FHIR Medida type? that is absolutely not the intent
Patrick Werner (Oct 04 2018 at 18:34):
no it is more about the 2nd bullet point in: http://build.fhir.org/terminologies.html#system
A system URI or OID defined as the correct value to use in FHIR by the publisher of the code system
Patrick Werner (Oct 04 2018 at 18:36):
oh. i just realized this is not a guidance to set URIs. Sorry.
Grahame Grieve (Oct 04 2018 at 18:36):
np. so we've agreed to those before, and there's no global reason to change them.
Patrick Werner (Oct 04 2018 at 18:36):
but we still have issues of misleading URIs which proably should be changed
Grahame Grieve (Oct 04 2018 at 18:36):
we have changed on in the past because we realised it was wrong
Grahame Grieve (Oct 04 2018 at 18:36):
what is misleading?
Patrick Werner (Oct 04 2018 at 18:38):
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore is a Nucleotide CodeSystem where as the description suggests reference sequences
Grahame Grieve (Oct 04 2018 at 18:39):
so fix the description? that sounds like a good idea
Patrick Werner (Oct 04 2018 at 18:40):
Yes we will revise the existing ones and make tracker items for errors in the current status. Changing Sources instead of URIs
Grahame Grieve (Oct 04 2018 at 18:45):
great
