Purpose

The

Concept
ShowPartsterm
t705109006 Code to expression type reference set
 is designed to enable associations between code in another code system
Gloss
t(other-codes)
t:other-codes
 and
Gloss
tSNOMED CT concepts
, where the following constraints apply:

  1. Some of the
    Gloss
    tother-codes
    t:other-codes
     cannot be mapped to an individual SNOMED CT
    Gloss
    tconcept
    .
  2. Licensing conditions (or other considerations) prevent addition of new SNOMED CT concepts to represent the same meaning as the
    Gloss
    tother-codes
    t:other-codes
    .
  3. The
    Gloss
    tother-codes
    t:other-codes
     can be logically defined using the
    Gloss
    tSNOMED concept model
     to represent the same meaning
    Gloss
    t(sufficiently defined)
     or a similar though less specific meaning
    Gloss
    t(primitive)
    .
  4. Other requirements similar for those applicable to mapping may also apply including:
    1. An indication of the degree of correlation between the 
      Gloss
      tother-code
      t:other-codes
       and the SNOMED CT expression.
    2. An indication of whether the
      Gloss
      tother-code
      t:other-codes
       was created before any single concept representation of that meaning in SNOMED CT or whether the single concept representation in SNOMED CT predated the creation of the association.

Data Structure

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

Gloss
tother-codes
t:other-codes
 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 
Gloss
tother-code
t:other-codes
 are not identified by an 
Specref
RefTypedata type
tSCTID
, the logical definition cannot be represented using 
Gloss
tdefining relationships
. There are two potential approaches to this, one would be to use a general purpose description logic language (e.g. 
Gloss
tOWL
) and the other is to use a
Gloss
tSNOMED CT expression
 to represent each definition. The
Concept
ShowPartsterm
t705109006 Code to expression type reference set
 is designed to support the expression-based approach.

Field

Data type

Purpose

id

Specref
RefTypedata type
tUUID

A 128 bit unsigned integer, uniquely identifying the reference set member.

Specref
teffectiveTime

Specref
RefTypedata type
tTime

Specifies the inclusive date at which this change becomes effective.

Specref
tactive

Specref
RefTypedata type
tBoolean

Specifies whether the member's state was active or inactive from the nominal release date specified by the effectiveTime field.

Specref
tmoduleId

Specref
RefTypedata type
tSCTID

Identifies the member version's module. Set to a child of

Concept
ShowPartsterm
t900000000000443000 Module
in the metadata hierarchy.

Specref
trefsetId

Specref
RefTypedata type
tSCTID

Identifies the reference set and must be a subtype of

Concept
ShowPartsterm
t705109006 Code to expression type reference set
which is located in the metadata hierarchy as shown below:

 

Scg expression
ShowFormatinline
900000000000454005 | Foundation metadata concept |
	900000000000455006 | Reference set |
		705109006 |Code to expression type reference set|

Specref
treferencedComponentId

Specref
RefTypedata type
tSCTID

A reference to a SNOMED CT metadata concept referring to the code system containing the

Gloss
tother-codes
t:other-codes
. This is a subtype of
Concept
ShowPartsterm
t705113004 Terminology system
.

Specref
tmapTarget

Specref
RefTypedata type
tString

The

Gloss
tother-code
t:other-codes
associated with the SNOMED CT expression.

Specref
texpression

Specref
RefTypedata type
tString

Gloss
tSNOMED CT expression
 that represents the SNOMED CT definition of the 
Gloss
tother-code
t:other-codes
. This expression may be a 
Gloss
tstated
GlosTermstated view
 or 
Gloss
tinferred view
 of the definition provided that documentation of each identified reference set specifies the view provided.

The expression must conform to the syntax defined in the SNOMED CT Compositional Grammar - Specification and Guide (http://snomed.org/scg).

Specref
tdefinitionStatusId

Specref
RefTypedata type
tSCTID

Indicates whether or not the expression contains a sufficient definition of the

Gloss
tother-code
t:other-codes
in the mapTarget field.
Possible values are the following subtypes of
Concept
t900000000000444006 Definition status
:

 

Scg expression
ShowFormatinline
	900000000000074008 | Necessary but not sufficient concept definition status |
	  900000000000073002 | Sufficiently defined concept definition status |

Specref
tcorrelationId

Specref
RefTypedata type
tSCTID

The correlation between the SNOMED CT expression and the

Gloss
tother-code
t:other-codes
. Possible values are the following subtypes of
Concept
t447247004 SNOMED CT source code to target map code correlation value
:

 

Scg expression
ShowFormatinline
	447559001 | Broad to narrow map from SNOMED CT source code to target code |
	  447557004 | Exact match map from SNOMED CT source code to target code |
	  447558009 | Narrow to broad map from SNOMED CT source code to target code |
	  447560006 | Partial overlap between SNOMED CT source code and target code |

Note

When these values are applied to this reference set type, the phrase "SNOMED source code" is interpreted as meaning "SNOMED expression" and "target code" refers to the

Gloss
tother-code.
t:other-codes
.

Specref
tcontentOriginId

Specref
RefTypedata type
tSCTID

Indication of whether concept was initially in one of the terminologies (SNOMED CT or

Gloss
tother-codes
t:other-codes
) and added to the other as part of mapping or was in both terminologies at the outset. Values are subtype children of
