4.12 Resource TerminologyCapabilities - Content

Terminology Infrastructure icon Work GroupMaturity Level: 1 Trial UseSecurity Category: Anonymous Compartments: No defined compartments

A TerminologyCapabilities resource documents a set of capabilities (behaviors) of a FHIR Terminology Server that may be used as a statement of actual server functionality or a statement of required or desired server implementation.

The TerminologyCapabilities resource provides for a terminology server to describe how the underlying terminology service works.

A client can get the TerminologyCapabilities statement for a Terminology Service by using the capabilities API:

 GET [base]/metadata?mode=terminology

This will return the TerminologyCapabilities resource that applies to the service itself.

  • The TerminologyCapabilities resource does not describe the API - see CapabilityStatement for this.
  • The CodeSystem resource documents the inherent structure and capabilities of code system, whereas the TerminologyCapabilities resource documents what a server hosting the code system is capable of

No references for this Resource.

TerminologyCapabilities.status PublicationStatus Required

The lifecycle status of an artifact.

TerminologyCapabilities.jurisdiction JurisdictionValueSet Extensible

This value set defines a base set of codes for country, country subdivision and region for indicating where a resource is intended to be used.

Note: The codes for countries and country subdivisions are taken from ISO 3166 icon while the codes for "supra-national" regions are from UN Standard country or area codes for statistical use (M49) icon.

TerminologyCapabilities.kind CapabilityStatementKind Required

How a capability statement is intended to be used.

TerminologyCapabilities.codeSystem.version.language CommonLanguages Required

This value set includes common codes from BCP-47 (see http://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47)

TerminologyCapabilities.codeSystem.content CodeSystemContentMode Required

The extent of the content of the code system (the concepts and codes it defines) are represented in a code system resource.

TerminologyCapabilities.codeSearch CodeSearchSupport Required

The degree to which the server supports the code search parameter on ValueSet, if it is supported.
