A SNOMED CT template is a SNOMED CT expression, expression constraint, or query that contains one or more slots. Each template slot either provides information as to how the template should be processed (i.e. an information slot), or serves as a placeholder for a specific value that may be completed at a subsequent time. Each replacement slot may have a replacement type (e.g. concept, expression, token, string, integer, decimal or decimalboolean), a slot name, and a replacement constraint. Depending on the replacement type, the replacement constraint may either be an expression constraint, a value list constraint or a range constraint. Each information slot may have a cardinality and a slot name.
