FHIR Terminology Ecosystem
Ontoserver® v6.21.1 passed all HL7 terminology service tests (modes flat;ontoserver, tests v1.6.6, runner v6.4.3)
The FHIR Terminology Ecosystem is documented here: https://github.com/FHIR/ig-registry/blob/master/tx-registry-doco.md
FHIR🔥 APIs (R4)
-
SCRUD operations on ValueSet, ConceptMap, CodeSystem, StructureDefinition, Bundle and NamingSystem.
-
Resource-specific operations: ValueSet $expand, ValueSet $validate-code, CodeSystem $find-matches, CodeSystem $lookup, CodeSystem $subsumes, CodeSystem $validate-code, NamingSystem $preferred-id, ConceptMap $translate, and $closure
Syndication 
Ontoserver instances can syndicate terminology content from an up-stream or to a down-stream instance via its Syndication API.
This makes it almost trivial to deploy and access the latest version of SNOMED CT-AU and other standard terminologies.
