• Left-hand navigation and browsing context panel with the following context tabs:
  • Taxonomy - supporting a hierarchical browsing view of SNOMED CT based on proximal parent is-a relationships.
  • Search - supporting text based content querying with filtering by query word order, concept status, description type and language refset.
  • Favorites - supporting "starring" of particular concepts for personalised subsequent rapid viewing.
  • Refset - supporting browsing of SNOMED CT reference set members.
• Right-hand content panel, with tabs for:
  • Concept Details (with sub-panel tabbed navigation for Summary, Details, Diagram, Expression, Refsets, Members, History and References related to the currently in-focus concept) in either the Stated or Inferred model view.
  • Expression Constraint Queries - supporting advanced querying of SNOMED CT content using the Expression Constraint Language (ECL).

The Full perspective first opens to the Search tab in the left-hand context panel, with the Concept Details - Summary tab for 404684003 | Clinical finding (finding)| shown in the right-hand content panel. The detault presentation language is English (en-US), and the concept details default to showing the US English language reference set FSN and synonyms.

Press the Taxonomy tab in the left-hand panel to show a hierarchical representation of SNOMED CT concepts.

The left-hand content panel changes focus to the Taxonomy view, showing an expandable/collapsible tree navigator of SNOMED CT concepts. This can be considered as an "inverted tree", expanding outwards and downwards from the "root" concept 138875005 | SNOMED CT Concept (SNOMED RT+CTV3)| .

When first opened, the Taxonomy is presented with 404684003 | Clinical finding (finding)| as its focus concept, which has 138875005 | SNOMED CT Concept (SNOMED RT+CTV3)| as its parent.

The focus concept is the second topmost entry, with its parent as the topmost, and its children concepts expanded below it. Each child node is initially shown "collapsed", so only immediate descendants of the focus concept are visible.

Each concept entry in the Taxonomy view has a Definition Status icon followed by the concept FSN.

Press a concept entry once to load it into the right-hand panel as its focus concept.

To navigate around the concepts, use the blue icon buttons to the left of each concept entry.

• moves focus "up" the (inverted) tree
  (if the topmost concept is not 138875005 | SNOMED CT Concept (SNOMED RT+CTV3)| - if it is then no changes are made).
• expands the tree to show the children of a concept.
• collapses the tree to hide the children of a concept.
• indicates a "leaf" node in the tree - a concept that has no descendants (so no changes are made).
