Narrative description(Describe the inactivation scenario in a few lines) | The concept is considered to be ambiguous when there is the potential for a user to interpret the meaning in more than one way. This may arise due to inherent conflict between or within the descriptions, where the modelling of the concept does not reflect the meaning of the FSN or where the |

What is the reason for inactivation (description)? | Ambiguity may be apparent for a number of reasons: - The FSN is ambiguous
- Modeling is more specific than the FSN meaning
- The FSN meaning is more specific than the modeling; inactivation is determined case-by-case as this could simply be a primitive concept which cannot be defined
- Moving to a different top-level hierarchy
- Changing the common name to the scientific name
- Ancestors and descendants (if any) of the concept are inconsistent with what is implied by the FSN - inactivate concepts

Impact(Describe how specific stakeholders are affected by the inactivation) | |
|
|
|
|
|
| Impact depends upon: 1. If the end user agrees the component is ambiguous then management i 2. If the end user disagrees that the component is erroneous, then a suitable replacement SNOMED component is needed. This can pose a problem. 3. Including the exact reason the component is determined to be erroneous would help the end user reconcile the inactivation. |
