| 5 | Requirement for description matching FSN in MRCM | JCA | Summary of previous discussion: (see 2016-01-22 Editorial AG Conference Call) - Current FSN naming conventions result in "non-user-friendly" descriptions. Creation of another description without the semantic tag adds no value
- Many existing FSNs would be ambiguous without the addition of the semantic tag.
- Users often do not request "preferred terms" so rely on editors to provide appropriate descriptions.
- Historically, many FSNs were glorified preferred terms
- This is an issue that only affects English versions as translation provide terms of use in their languages
- Challenge to editors is when to create a different preferred term if the FSN term is not user-friendly.
- This has an impact on acceptance of word order variants as preferred terms.
Assumptions: - Semantic tags provide value in disambiguating concepts in different hierarchies with the same description (e.g Swab (physical object) vs. Swab (specimen))
- Current FSN naming conventions do not always provide user friendly descriptions, so duplication of these descriptions adds no value.
| - Consensus on options: 1) require matching description (SCA give error) or 2) matching description optional (SCA gives warning)
- Bruce Goldberg To take this naming issue back to the ECE for discussion and recommendation.
