Topic: Size of CodeSystem

Hi, I would like to precise deeper this issue:
I read before that is not recommended use bigger CS.
So, what's the criteria to define whether a larger CodeSystem should be defined with the property "content:not-present" or not ?.
In the case of hapi, the CS for SnomedCT only contains the definition of the CS, but codes are managed by the Lucene or Elastic.

whatever is too big for your convenience. I personally think the cut-off is about 50MB

Different servers will behave / support large CodeSystems differently. Ontoserver is known to work with very large CodeSystems (e.g., HPO, NCBI Taxonomy). Note that the main issue with SNOMED is not so much size, but the details of the associated semantics that a server needs to handle.
