|
supports the representation of
and
preferences for the use of particular

|
. The most common use case for this type of
| Gloss |
|---|
| PreSpace | false |
|---|
| t | reference set |
|---|
|
is to specify the acceptable and preferred terms for use within a particular country or region. However, the same type of
| Gloss |
|---|
| PreSpace | false |
|---|

|---|
|
can also be used to represent preferences for use of
| Gloss |

| PreSpace | false |
|---|
| t | descriptions |
|---|
|
in a more specific context such as a clinical specialty, organization or department.

:
- No more than one

of a specific | Gloss |

|
. - Every active concept should have one preferred synonym in each language.
- This means that a language reference set should assign the acceptabilityId
| Concept |
|---|
| t | 900000000000548007|Preferred| |
|---|
|
to one (a | Gloss |

) associated with each . - This description is the
| Gloss |

|
for that in the specified or .
- Any
| Gloss |

| t | description |
|---|
|
which is not referenced by an active row in the | Gloss |
|---|
| PreSpace | false |
|---|
| t | reference set |
|---|
|
is regarded as unacceptable (i.e. not a valid in the language or ).- If a description becomes unacceptable, the relevant language reference set member is inactivated by adding a new row with the same id, the effectiveTime of the the change and the value active=0.
- For this reason there is no requirement for an "unacceptable" value.
