Semantic interoperability is the centerpiece of successful communication between information systems within the health care system. As such, a terminology server provides information systems with the concepts needed for coding information accordingly. As the current Austrian terminology server does not meet all requirements anymore, a new terminology server is necessary. Consequently, after an unsuccessful call for bids, the Semantic Competence Center (SCC) of the ELGA GmbH set up a technologically more advanced solution for a new terminology server. The result is a Git based architecture in combination with the HL7® FHIR® IG publisher complemented by a FHIR® server and some in-house developments. The Git repository is hosted on GitLab.com, hence, allowing the use of GitLab's CI/CD functionalities for publishing the contents. Since the 1 January 2022 the new terminology server "TerminoloGit" is operational and provides 171 code lists and 141 value sets. Using open-source components only and making all parts of the system publicly available results in a cost-effective solution which may also be improved by the open-source community.
语义互操作性是医疗保健系统内信息系统之间成功通信的核心。因此，术语服务器为信息系统提供了相应编码信息所需的概念。由于当前的奥地利术语服务器不再满足所有要求，因此需要一个新的术语服务器。因此，在一次不成功的招标后，ELGA 有限公司的语义能力中心 (SCC) 为新的术语服务器建立了一个技术上更先进的解决方案。其结果是一个基于 Git 的架构，结合了 HL7® FHIR® IG 发布者，并辅以一个 FHIR®服务器和一些内部开发。Git 存储库托管在 GitLab.com 上，因此允许使用 GitLab 的 CI/CD 功能来发布内容。自 2022 年 1 月 1 日起，新的术语服务器“TerminoloGit”已投入运行，提供了 171 个代码列表和 141 个值集。仅使用开源组件并使系统的所有部分都公开可用，可实现具有成本效益的解决方案，并且开源社区也可以对此进行改进。
