According to ISO 1087-1:2000 conceptual relationships can be divided into hierarchical relationships (generic is-a relationships), partitive relationships (whole-part relationships) and associative (non-hierarchical) relationships. In SNOMED CT generic and attribute relationships are used to define concepts in a formal language that is understandable to both humans and computers (Figure 2).
