Aktuelle Version vom 21. Dezember 2025, 18:44 Uhr

Preface

Due to license policies of standard terminology providers we do not make available provider input files. Customers have to download these files from provider sites.

To load a standard terminology the customer has to copy the input files to a dedicated directory (called LD in the following) together with a specification json file (SF). In context of docker, kubernetes etc. a dedicated volume should be used. To avoid inconsistencies, services should not be accessed during load.

Terminology Directory (LD)

A dedicated directory, called LD in the following, contains all files required for a specific standard terminology or terminology packet. There should be a separate directory for each, currently Snomed, Loinc, Mesh, and BfArM.

The deployment for Kubernetes provides an extra volume with the path

  • /etc/webcts2le/inst/terminologies

Subdirectories prefixed with this path should be used for LD, which is specified when starting the load (see REST interface for loading).

BfArM Terminologies

BfArM (Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte) provides the standard terminologies for Germany.

Packages

To download these terminologies, the

project must first be cloned. The command

  • cd curl ; ./download.sh -c true

downloads all to the directory packages (call ./download.sh --help for details).

Structure

The directory packages downloaded from bfarm must be located in a dedicated directory (e.g. bfarm as LD). The following structure is an example for two packages (ICDGM, OPS).

bfarm
|_ packages
|  |_ bfarm.terminologien.icd10gm-2025.0.0.tar.gz
|  |  |_ package/CodeSystem-icd10gm-agelow-2025.json
|  |  |_ package/CodeSystem-icd10gm-agereject-2025.json
|  |  |_ package/package.json
|  |  |_ ...
|  |_ bfarm.terminologien.ops-2025.0.0.tar.gz
|  |  |_ ...
|_ fhir-packs.jsonc

The specification file (here fhir-packs.jsonc) must be located within the bfarm directory.

Specification File (SF)

For BfArM terminologies, the following specification file is used.

1 {
2     "terminologyDesignator": "fhir-package",
3     "canonicalUrlRegex": "<regex>", // optional
4     "packageRegex": "<regex>"
5 }
  • terminologyDesignator

    • has to be set to fhir-package
  • canonicalUrlRegex

    • this filter loads only terminologies whose canonical URL (https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/datatypes.html#canonical) conforms to <regex>. E.g., regex .*(agerejec|agelow).* will only load the terminologies CodeSystem-icd10gm-agereject-2025.json and CodeSystem-icd10gm-agelow-2025.json because its canonical URLs are
      • https: //terminologien.bfarm.de/fhir/CodeSystem/icd10gm-agereject|2025 and
      • https: //terminologien.bfarm.de/fhir/CodeSystem/icd10gm-agelow|2025, respectively.
  • packageRegex

    • this filter loads only packages whose canonical package name conforms to <regex>. The canonical package name ist defined as the form <name>|<version> where name and version are the properties in the package definition file
      • bfarm/packages/bfarm.terminologien.icd10gm-2025.0.0.tar.gz/package/package.json (see section Packages above).
      • E.g., regex .*(icd10gm\\|2025|ops\\|2025).* will only load the ICD and OPS package.

Example

1 {
2     "terminologyDesignator": "fhir-package",
3     "canonicalUrlRegex": ".*(agerejec|exotic|einmalk).*",
4     "packageRegex": ".*(icd10gm\\|2025|ops\\|2025).*"
5 }

In this example only the terminologies for age rejection and the exotic one of the ICD as well as the one-time codes of the OPS package will be loaded.

REST interface

  • HTTP GET <host-cts2le>/WebCts2LE/service/crud/bulk/load-std-terminology

where <host-cts2le> is the kubernetes service url for the cts2le container.

Query Parameters

  • directory: direcory path (LD)
  • loadSpec: path to specification file SF (relative to LD)

Example

  • HTTP GET <host-cts2le>/WebCts2LE/service/crud/bulk/load-std-terminology?directory=/etc/webcts2le/inst/terminologies/loinc&loadSpec=load-spec-2.80.json

Note

Depending on the kubernetes settings, a timeout can occur. Nevertheless, the loading process is started and can be observed in the container logs. Future versions could introduce a task-concept for such purposes.

Afterwards an update of the suggester (used by the navigator) has to be performed:

  • HTTP GET <host-cts2le>/WebCts2LE/service/manage/index/suggester/update

Metrics

Removal

Removal time is nearly equal load time due to the RDF store. It is recommended that the terminology is not present in the store beforehand. The following numbers assume an empty store.

Loading Time

Due to used RDF quad store technology, the loading time (i.e. 'weaving' the RDF-triple knowledge graph based on the flat files) on e.g. openshift is

  • Smomed: ~15 min
  • Loinc: ~9 min
  • MeSH: ~7 min
  • BfArM: ~10 min

(CPU ~2.7 GHz (cat /proc/cpuinfo); OS UI POD metrics: ~7.6 GB used memory)

It is a known restriction for quad stores that loading time is high compared to other nosql data stores. On the other hand it offers elaborated functionality based on semantic web technologies. Future versions of CTS2-LE could utilize nosql data stores.

Disk Space

The following disk space (per container) is occupied for the complete terminology set after loading

  • cts2le: ~3 GB
  • fuseki: ~27 GB
  • solr: ~1 GB

Deleting and adding the same terminology leads to an increase in resource consumption over time and quad stores usually occupies huge space on disk because every quad is indexed. E.g. Snomed has ~18.000.000 quads. fuseki offers a runtime compaction of the database with the call

curl --request POST --url 'http://fuseki:3030/$/compact/cts2le?deleteOld=true'
