Abstract:
The terminology services, defined as part of the emerging FHIR standard, yield a promising approach to finally achieve a common handling of coding systems needed for semantic interoperability. As a precondition, legacy terminology data must be transformed into FHIR-compatible resources whereby varying source formats make a manual case-by-case solution impracticable. In this work, the practicability of using CSIRO's Ontoserver and the related Snapper tool as support of the transformation process were evaluated by applying them to the German Alpha-ID terminology.
