The general approach to the above requirements is to associate each of the

|
with a representation of the same logic based definition as would have been applied to a SNOMED CT concept with that meaning. However, since the
are not identified by an
, the logical definition cannot be represented using
. There are two potential approaches to this, one would be to use a general purpose description logic language (e.g.
) and the other is to use a
to represent each definition. The

is designed to support the expression-based approach.

The expression-based approach was chosen for the LOINC Term associations. The main reason for this choice was that expressions can precisely represent all aspects of the definitions represented by SNOMED CT defining relationships. An additional factor was the relative human-readability of this format for review as demonstrated by the expression tab in the SNOMED International online browser (http://snomed.org/browser). |
