This is the narrative for the resource. See also the XML, JSON or Turtle format.

Note that this is the formal definition for the translate-id operation as an OperationDefinition on NamingSystem. See the Operation documentation

URL: [base]/NamingSystem/$translate-id

Parameters

UseNameScopeCardinalityTypeBindingDocumentation
INid1..1string

The server parses the provided identifier to see what type it is (e.g. a URI, an OID as a URI, a plain OID, or a v2 table 0396 code). If the server can't tell what type of identifier it is, it can try it as multiple types. It is an error if more than one system matches the provided identifier

INsourceType1..1codeNaming System Identifier Type (Required)
INtargetType1..1codeNaming System Identifier Type (Required)
INpreferredOnly0..1boolean

If preferredOnly = true then return only the preferred identifier, or if preferredOnly = false then return all available ids.

INdate0..1dateTime

If 'date' is supplied return only ids that have a validity period that includes that date.

OUTresult1..1boolean

True if the identifier could be translated successfully.

OUTtargetIdentifier0..*string

The target identifer(s) of the requested type

OUTtargetIdentifer.preferred0..1boolean

Whether the target identifier is preferred.

OUTtargetIdentifier.period0..1Period

The perioid when the target identifier is valid.

Servers handle this request by finding the provided identifier in their known naming systems, and returning the requested identifier type (NamingSystem.uniqueId.type).

If the server wishes, it can also look through all code systems and value sets it knows about when attempting to find the requested identifier
