UK dm+d Maintenance

Vocabulary Users

Hello all! I hope you’re having a wonderful week.

I have a question about the state of the UK’s dm+d vocabulary, and there are plans for it to be updated in the future?

I note from this post that the UK drug extension has been shutdown (for understandable reasons), however to my understanding the dm+d vocabulary is still (officially) maintained.

But with that said, the last update to the vocabulary was in 22-May-2023.

Are there plans to maintain to update this further? Or is there a need for someone to maintain this?

Very many thanks,

Lawrence

Hello Lawrence,

Thank you for your question! I hope you’re having a great week as well.

You are correct that the UK drug extension has been discontinued, and as of now, there are no immediate plans to update the dm+d vocabulary based on the current roadmap. However, the good news is that there is an opportunity for Community Contribution to ensure the vocabulary remains up-to-date.

We would be happy to have a steward take the lead on maintaining and updating dm+d. If this is something you’re interested in, I encourage you to attend the Vocabulary WG call, where we can discuss the specifics of stewardship and how we can support you in this effort.

Kind regards,
Masha

Hi @lawrenceadams @m-khitrun
An update to the UK dm+d vocabs would be really useful for us too and I would be happy to contribute (although I don’t quite know what that would involve !).
Did you make a start ?
Thanks !
Andy

Can I suggest we talk about the potential to start a community contribution to update dm+d in the Vocabularies office hours this Thursday ? @aostropolets @m-khitrun @lawrenceadams
