Best Practice for adding concepts to an Implementation

Implementing Terminology
2

At PIH, we use 3 of these methods:

  1. PIH generates mds packages from a PIH dedicated terminology server. These mds packages are using as part of our code and deployment. @ssmusoke is correct that the mds zip files are not transparent and it is difficult to locate the source for a concept.
  2. Not used
  3. Rarely used but a convenience with adding a large group or creating a convSet.
  4. New and modified concepts added in code. PIH Malawi example
  5. Future. We would love to have a smoother path and hope that OCL collections and the OCL service module will replace our kludgy concept management and deployment.

Much appreciated post, @ssmusoke. I’d like a larger discussion including @darius @raff @akanter about where we are and the progress to expect with OCL in the near future.
