A terminology service makes diverse terminologies/ontologies accessible under a uniform interface. The EU TRANSFoRm project built an online terminology service for European primary care research. The service experienced performance limitations during its operation. Based on community feedback, we evaluated alternative solutions and developed a new version of the service. Based on BioPortal’s scalable infrastructure, the new service delivers more features with improved performance and reduced maintenance cost. We plan to extend the service to meet Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources specifications.
