Topic: Import tool for creating FHIR ConceptMap resources
May Terry (Feb 10 2022 at 16:04):
Is there a tool which takes a spreadsheet of term maps in a certain format and then converts them into FHIR ConceptMap resources? I was thinking of creating a Python script to do this to save myself some time in manually crafting JSON files or specified with FSH syntax, but I would not want to recreate something that is already available.

I'm not sure that I've seen anything like that, @May Terry. But it would be good to know if others are aware of something. It wouldn't surprise me if Ontoserver has something along those lines, but I don't recall for sure if they do. @Michael Lawley @Jim Steel ?

Snapper allows importing csv files to generate a concept map but is size limited.
It's good for one-off type exercises. Otherwise I am quite partial to using jq to produce a json resource with a repeatable script

I thought you might - but I didn't recall for sure. :)

I haven't done anything like this for the general case. Only for the v2/FHIR mapping project. The problem really is that you need a source of metadata that doesn't fit into a cvs type mapping thing. And also that people's assumptions about how the mapping does/should work are highly variable

SmileCDR has a utility for doing this as well https://smilecdr.com/docs/smileutil/import_csv_to_conceptmap.html

Thanks, Dan. Good to know - I didn't think to check that.

In the past I've just used a formula in Excel to output the json fragments for all the concepts. Then assemble itn to a resource.
