This is not an idempotent operation
In Parameters: | |||||
Name | Cardinality | Type | Binding | Profile | Documentation |
name | 1..1 | string | The name that defines the particular context for the subsumption based closure table | ||
concept | 0..* | Coding | Concepts to add to the closure table | ||
version | 0..1 | string | A request to resynchronise - request to send all new entries since the nominated version was sent by the server | ||
Out Parameters: | |||||
Name | Cardinality | Type | Binding | Profile | Documentation |
return | 1..1 | ConceptMap | A list of new entries (code / system --> code/system) that the client should add to its closure table. The only kind of entry mapping relationships that can be returned are equivalent, source-is-broader-than-target and source-is-narrower-than-target. Note: as this is the only out parameter, it is a resource, and it has the name 'return', the result of this operation is returned directly as a resource |
