I know this was a topic that was looked at a few years (2021-01-27 Editorial Advisory Group Conference call - SNOMED CT Editorial Advisory Group - SNOMED Confluence https://confluence.ihtsdotools.org/display/editorialag/2021-01-27+Editorial+Advisory+Group+Conference+call) and "resolved" but I'm not convinced the outcome is correct. Specifically, that Intoxication (disorder) IS A Poisoning (disorder). The current text definition "Diminished control of mental or physical functioning caused b

Discussion surrounding the proposal to retire from use the WAS-A historical attribute and the inactivation of the existing relationships.  The issue originated when a concept slated for inactivation served as a destination concept for a WAS-A relationship to a limited status concept.
