Snowstorm is a SNOMED CT terminology server built on top of Elasticsearch, with a focus on performance and enterprise scalability.

Snowstorm provides the terminology server API for the SNOMED International Browser including the International Edition and around fourteen national Extensions.

Snowstorm can be used in local implementations to query SNOMED CT with the following features:

• Hosting multiple extensions alongside the International Edition of SNOMED CT
• Multi-lingual search and content retrieval
• Fully ECL v1.3 compliant
• Full history (depends on full RF2 import)
• Read-only FHIR API 🔥

Snowstorm also provides the terminology server API for the SNOMED International Authoring Platform.

The Authoring Platform is used for the maintenance of the International Edition of SNOMED CT as well as nine national Extensions and several community content Extensions.
