Abstract

We describe the framework for SNOMED RT (Reference Terminology), designed to complement the broad coverage of medical concepts in SNOMED with a set of enhanced features that significantly increases its value as a reference terminology for representing clinical data. We describe what is meant by a reference terminology, and differentiate SNOMED RT from specialized terminologies that enable user interfaces, electronic messaging, or natural language processing, as well as from other specialized reference terminologies whose primary purpose is for representing data that is not primarily clinical in nature. We then describe how SNOMED RT represents multiple hierarchies and incorporates description logic. We believe that such a comprehensive set of concepts at multiple levels of granularity, with multiple logic-based subsumption hierarchies can meet the requirements of a reference terminology for health care.
