    Dear all,

    I'm impressed with what you've done so far! Brian Carlsen I would love to contribute to the Java project. For instance providing examples on searching within a particular language refset and/or simple refset, or retrieving mappings to another code system. Is there a list of functionality that you plan to add & have added so far?

    Rory Davidson I noticed that the repository that is mentioned here does not contain the code created by Brian and the others. Should we add the link? Or move the code?

    I'm just waiting for Brian Carlsen to give me the go signal and we will move the code from the WCI repository into the one linked here.

    Feikja,  Thank you for your comments.  I guess I'd say that our first effort is really to get the simple 4 examples working well, and structured and documented properly across all technologies (I think we're there at this point) - then we can extend beyond that to include other types of queries.

    What I'd love to do is get a list of suggestions (and of course would welcome your help with the project) and then we can make sure to add the appropriate/corresponding calls to java/javascript/curl to keep everything aligned.

    Rory, as far as I'm concerned you can go ahead.  I don't plan any more changes at this point.  You're welcome to either fork the WCI project or to make a copy of it.

      Hi Brian,

      I don't know if you already have a file somewhere that contains a list of suggestions, but I'll just stuff them in this comment for now (smile)

      I'd suggest adding some examples which match frequent use cases, e.g.

      • 'supporting registration for a British GP' (i.e. searching within the GP/FP reference set & the UK language reference set)
      • 'deriving ICD-10 codes from registered SNOMED concepts (i.e. retrieving all entries of a SNOMED-concept from the ICD-10 extended mapping reference set)

      Something that shows newbies which aspects they should focus on to achieve a particular goal.

        Feikja, I added your suggestions to the README.md file in the project itself.  We're getting close to having a really nice start on the whole thing.  I believe the two best ways to move forward are to

        • add additional examples
        • bring in the normalization of the concept model

    The IHTSDO repo now contains all the code from Brian's repo (copied instead of forking to have the main repo here).

    If you would like to contribute, please now just jump in and give me your GitHub id's.

    Hi Guys,

    csharp code all uploaded now ... put it on master branch.

    I have done the 4 examples following the java code, so there is some symmetry with all the code.

    I agree we should come up with some more examples though.

    What should be the protocol moving forward ?

    Branch off... do coding. .. do a push request and wait for people to check it out before merging into master?
