hcls-fhir-rdf
This repo is maintained by the RDF subgroup of the HL7 ITS group, and is mostly used for tracking FHIR RDF issues.
State of affairs
RDF (Turtle) is one of three official FHIR serialization formats, along with JSON and XML.
Both JSON and RDF (Turtle)
examples are generated from XML master examples during the FHIR spec build process.
The FHIR publishing process on github generates:
- a ShEx schema for all core FHIR resources,
- a fairly minimal FHIR ontology; and
- RDF serializations for all of the FHIR examples in the FHIR specification.
The RDF and ShEx generation code in this repository is no longer maintained. See documentation below for an overview of the current generation process.
