All
Gloss
PreSpace false
t active
Gloss
PreSpace false
t descriptions
for which the conceptId refers to this
Gloss
PreSpace false
t concept
are valid. Visibility of these
Gloss
PreSpace false
t active
Gloss
PreSpace false
t descriptions
depends on information contained in applicable refset members (for example, whether the
Gloss

is in a
Gloss
PreSpace false
t language
Gloss
PreSpace false
t dialect
Gloss
PreSpace false
t reference set
that is currently enabled in the vendor's system).

t destinationId
are applicable.

Concept

False

The
Gloss
PreSpace false
t concept

Gloss
PreSpace false
t concept
for historical purposes as part of the
Gloss

t SNOMED CT
commitment to the principle of '
Gloss
PreSpace false
t concept
permanence'.
Valid
Gloss
PreSpace false
t descriptions
of the
Gloss
PreSpace false
t concept
remain
Gloss
PreSpace false
t active
allowing it to be appropriately viewed in human-readable form.
An
Gloss
PreSpace false
t inactive
Gloss
PreSpace false
t concept
cannot be the
Specref
RefType (field)
t sourceId
,
Specref
RefType (field)
t destinationId
or
Specref
RefType (field)
t typeId
of an
Gloss
PreSpace false
t active
Gloss
PreSpace false
t relationship.

The
Gloss
PreSpace false
t description
contains a
Specref
RefType (field)
t term
that is a valid
Gloss
PreSpace false
t description
of the
Gloss
PreSpace false
t concept
referred to by the conceptId.
An
Gloss
PreSpace false
t active
Gloss
PreSpace false
t description
may refer to an
Gloss
PreSpace false
t inactive
Gloss
PreSpace false
t concept,
in which case the
Specref
RefType (field)
t term
provides a valid
Gloss
PreSpace false
t description
of that
Gloss
PreSpace false
t inactive
Gloss
PreSpace false
t concept.
Text based searches should (by default) include only
Gloss
PreSpace false
t active
Gloss

t descriptions
that refer to
Gloss
PreSpace false
t active
Gloss
PreSpace false
t concepts.

represents a valid association of the type specified by the
Specref
RefType (field)
t typeId
, between two
Gloss
PreSpace false
t concepts

Specref
RefType (field)
t sourceId
and
Specref
RefType (field)
t destinationId
;
An
Gloss
PreSpace false
t inactive
Gloss
PreSpace false
t concept
cannot be the
Specref
RefType (field)
t sourceId
,
Specref

t destinationId
or
Specref

t typeId
of an
Gloss
PreSpace false

Relationship

False

The
Gloss
PreSpace false
t relationship
is not valid. An
Gloss
PreSpace false
t inactive
Gloss
PreSpace false
t relationship
should be ignored as it does not apply.
This does not necessarily mean that the association indicated by the
Gloss
PreSpace false
t relationship
does not apply. The
Gloss
PreSpace false
t relationship
may be
Gloss
PreSpace false
t inactive
because it is redundant and inferable based on other
Gloss
PreSpace false
t active
Gloss
PreSpace false
t relationships
.
An
Gloss
PreSpace false
t inactive
Gloss
PreSpace false
t relationship
may refer to either
Gloss
PreSpace false
t active
or
Gloss
PreSpace false
t inactive
Gloss
PreSpace false
t components

t component
referred to by the
Specref
RefType (field)
t referencedComponentId
may be
Gloss
PreSpace false
t active
or
Gloss
PreSpace false
t inactive
. An
Gloss
PreSpace false
t active
refset member cannot make an
Gloss
PreSpace false
t inactive
Gloss
PreSpace false
t component
Gloss
PreSpace false
t active
but may provide related information that continues to be relevant (e.g. the reason for inactivation).

Refset member

The refset member is not valid. An
Gloss
PreSpace false
t inactive
refset member should be ignored. The information it contains is not applicable to the
Gloss
PreSpace false
t component
referred to by

RefType (field)
t referencedComponentId
