For my validation project(DSTU3, HAPI FHIR 4.2.0) need to validate external codes like rxnorm etc and thinking to have own terminology server set up. Wondering that if anybody did that to know what it involves. Thanks.

Did you ever figure this out? We're wanting to do the same thing...

Howdy,
           We've been trying to use Open Concept Lab in Brazil (https://openconceptlab.org/

It's got a front for Dicionary Managers: https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-ocl-client
A front for Term Browsing.  https://github.com/OpenConceptLab/oclweb2

I'm not sure if it's an appropriate suggestion, but there you have it.

Also, Syndication is not available as far as I know. So, there's that.

Agradecido,

Italo Costa.

HAPI provides pretty good support for basic (and even some reasonably sophisticated) terminology services and commonly needed terminologies (e.g., SNOMED CT, LOINC, etc.).  Are you thinking of something that would be more than or different than that?

Can't speak to Italo's needs...
But, right now I'm trying to figure out how to load RxNorm into HAPI so that it can support those basic terminology services for value sets that use RxNorm.
So far, I'm not finding any documentation on loading RxNorm.

It doesn't seem that there is a specific loader for RxNorm.  But you should be able to load it as a FHIR CodeSystem resource (although I expect RxNorm will be probably far too large for that) or using the custom file formats described in 9.1.9 at the bottom of this page:

If you are talking about implementing your own validation server, there are the possibility of writing a custom validation module (https://hapifhir.io/hapi-fhir/docs/validation/validation_support_modules.html).

And if possible create this "validation application" with at least version 5.1.0 where we have great performance improvements on validation.
