Ontoserver 6.26
This release of Ontoserver introduces the following significant new features:
Relaxed version requirement for CodeSystem supplements
Previously, a CodeSystem supplement had to reference a specific version of its base CodeSystem. This made supplements awkward to author and maintain, since they had to be re-pointed every time the base was updated.
Supplements are now no longer required to name a specific base version. This applies whether the supplement is:
- created or updated directly through the API, or
- supplied transiently via the
tx-resourceparameter to$expand,$validate-code, or$lookup.
The one exception is SNOMED CT supplements that include post-coordinated expressions — these still require a specific base version, because the expressions must be interpreted against a known edition and version.
Wildcard system versions
$expand and $validate-code now accept wildcard patterns in the system-version parameter, so you can pin to a version family without naming an exact release. For example:
system-version=http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason|2.x.x
matches any patch release within that minor version.
Alongside this, the check-system-version and force-system-version parameters are now supported on both operations, giving finer control over which CodeSystem version is used during an operation.
