Field
...
Data type
...
Purpose
...
id
...
UUID
...
A 128 bit unsigned integer, uniquely identifying this reference set member .
Different versions of a reference set member share the same id but have different effectiveTimes. This allows a reference set member to be modified or made inactive (i.e. removed from the active set) at a specified time.
...
effectiveTime
...
Time
...
The inclusive date or time at which this version of the identified reference set member became the current version.
The current version of this reference set member at time T is the version with the most recent effectiveTime prior to or equal to time T .
...
active
...
Boolean
...
The state of the identified reference set member as at the specified effectiveTime .
If active = 1 (true) the reference set member is part of the current version of the set, if active = 0 (false) the reference set member is not part of the current version of the set.
...
moduleId
...
SCTID
...
Identifies the SNOMED CT module that contains this reference set member as at the specified effectiveTime .
The value must be a subtype of 900000000000443000 $$ Module (core metadata concept) $$ within the metadata hierarchy .
...
refsetId
...
SCTID
...
Identifies the reference set to which this reference set member belongs.
In this case, set to 900000000000538005 $$ Description format reference set (foundation metadata concept) $$
...
referencedComponentId
...
SCTID
...
A reference to the subtype of 900000000000446008 $$ Description type (core metadata concept) $$ which specifies the description type to which this format applies.
...
descriptionFormat
...
SCTID
...
A reference to a subtype of 900000000000539002 $$ Description format (foundation metadata concept) $$ attribute which specifies the format of terms in descriptions of this description type .
...
descriptionLength
...
Integer
...
The maximum length in bytes of the terms in descriptions of this description type .

Note: The table above omits the initial four columns of data present in the release file. These follow the standards versioning pattern id, effectiveTime, active, moduleId. Additionally, to aid understanding, the table above also shows the term from one of the descriptions associated with each of the identified concept. The release file only contains the identifier .
