Goals
- Provide a tool that enables the management & creation of reference sets (refsets) against the International edition of SNOMED CT and Member extensions.
- Provide a directory of existing reference sets that can be searched and downloaded to be used by others
Background and strategic fit
Reference set management is another part of the authoring and management of SNOMED CT and there is no tool right which is sufficient to provide that capability alongside the capability for the community to search for existing reference sets.
Assumptions
- IHTSDO Terminology Server (TS) platform to retrieve the terminology.
- IHTSDO Identity Management Server (IMS) for user accounts and authentication - IHTSDO Identity Management Service Documentation
