Welcome and apologies


URLs for FHIR specificationURLs for canonical necessary normal form and necessary (long/short) normal form
URI Specification
  • Recap on purpose of SNOMED CT computable language URIs
  • Recap on language instance URIs (e.g. URIs for expressions and expression constraints)
Proposed Language Features

Other topics for discussion. For example:

  • ECL suggestions - Ability to execute maps in ECL
    • Transitive relationships and role chaining in ECL (to align with new enhanced DL axioms)
      • Example 1:
        • Direct relationship < 404684003 |Clinical finding|: << 47429007 |Associated with| = *
        • Transitive relationship < 404684003 |Clinical finding|: << 47429007 |Associated with|* = *
      • Example 2:
        • Direct relationship < 71388002 ||: 363701004 |Direct substance| = 372687004 |Amoxicillin|
        • Role chained relationship (via 738774007 |is modification of|) < 71388002 ||: 363701004 |Direct substance|* = 372687004 |Amoxicillin|
    • The specific use-case here comes initially from Jeremy and relates to being able to work with inactive concepts via the historical association maps. For example, given an ECL expression, e, that identifies a set of concepts to be used for retrieving patient records, you probably also want to retrieve records for sameAs(e) and replacedWith(e)
      • Example 1:
        • ??? (< 72704001 |Fracture| AND ^ 900000000000527005 |SAME AS association reference set|) . 900000000000533001 |Association target component|
  • Query language - Can we de-scope relationship filters?
Query Language
- Summary from previous meetings




Examples: version and language

Notes

    • Allow nested where, version, language
    • Scope of variables is inner query





Examples: where

Notes

      • Allow nested variable definitions, but recommend that people don't due to readability
      • Scope of variables is the inner query
      • No recursion e.g X WHERE X = 1234 MINUS X
        • ie can't use a variable in its own definition
        • ie X is only known on the left of the corresponding WHERE, and not on the right of the WHERE

      • D.term = "*heart", D.typeId = 900000000000550004 |definition|, D.acceptabilityId = * LANGUAGE X
  • Unacceptable Terms
    • (D.term = "*heart") MINUS (D.term = "*heart", D.acceptability = * LANGUAGE X)

Language preferences using multiple language reference sets

  • LRSs that use the same Language tend to use 'Addition' - i.e. child LRS only includes additional acceptable terms, but can override the preferred term

    • E.g. Regional LRS that adds local dialect to a National LRS

    • E.g. Specialty-specific LRS

    • E.g. Irish LRS that adds local preferences to the en-GB LRS

      • 99999900 |Irish language reference set| PLUS |GB English reference set|

  • LRSs that define a translation to a different language tend to use 'Replacement' - i.e. child LRS replaces set of acceptable and preferred terms for any associated concept

    • E.g. Danish LRS that does a partial translation of the International Release

      • 999999 |Danish language reference set| ELSE |GB English reference set|
