, have dependencies on other modules specified by the Module Dependency Reference Set.
- components and reference set members, that are part of the same module, share the same moduleId value.
- components and reference set members are part of only one module, at any given time.
- The organization responsible for maintaining an extension must:
- create and maintain at least one module identified by a moduleId that it has created;
- apply a moduleId that it has created to all components and reference set members in its extension;
- manage and distribute information about the dependencies of its modules in accordance with SNOMED CT specifications.
- The organization responsible for maintaining an extension may:
- create and maintain multiple modules;
- organize its components and reference set members within the modules it manages in a way that best meets its business needs;
- move a component or reference set member between its modules by creating a revised version of that component or reference set member with a different moduleId (It is then part of the new module from the effectiveTime of the revised version).
- Components and reference set members may be moved between modules maintained by different organizations. However, such moves must only be made:
- with the consent of the organizations responsible for both the source and target modules; and
- in accordance with rules specified by SNOMED International.
