SNOMED CT reference set

A standard format for maintaining and distributing a set of references to SNOMED CT components.

A reference set can be used to represent a subset of components (concepts, descriptions or relationships).
A reference set may also associate referenced components with additional information such as:
- Ordered lists of components
- Sets of associations between components
- Mapping between SNOMED CT concepts and other systems codes, classifications, or knowledge resources.
