Dear community, I am looking for a FHIR implementation (server) that stores the resources in native RDF FHIR, so that we could do complex SPARQL queries on top of it, but also expose REST API endpoints in FHIR.

For example what I would like to query on the FHIR store would be something like:

  • Retrieve all patients that are older than 18, not dead, having a body weight bigger than 100kg and that have laboratory of insulin higher than xyz .

Unfortunately I can only find FHIR server implementations with a RDBMS or mongo as data storage .
Do you know if some FHIR server implementations exists with an RDF triplestore as data storage where the TTL of FHIR resources would be stored?
Thank you in advance

@Eric Prud'hommeaux may have insight here

The java reference implementation can convert any resource into triples, but I have no knowledge of anyone who's built a data store using it. @Harold Solbrig is the most likely to know
