Examples:
Semantic meaning the same but FSN different:
235998001 Perinephric abscess (disorder) - inactivated
SAME_AS
80640009 Perirenal abscess (disorder)
Both concepts had an effective date of 2002-01-31 and so the decision was based on current clinical usage and the retained concept already had a synonym of Perinephric abscess.
Identical FSN but different semantic tag:
145857006 Soft tissue X-ray abnormal (situation) - inactivated
SAME_AS
168711005 Soft tissue X-ray abnormal (finding)
Managing incoming historical associations:
The intention is that this functionality will be seamlessly integrated into the tooling so as to present to the user the appropriate updated historically association to be allocated.
Whenever an already stated ALTERNATIVE target itself also becomes inactive - whether at the same release or later - the combinatorial logic of associations should be:
(A) ALTERNATIVE (B) and (B) SAME_AS (C) implies (A) ALTERNATIVE (C)
(A) ALTERNATIVE (B) and (B) REPLACED_BY (C) implies (A) REPLACED_BY (C)
(AIntEd) ALTERNATIVE (BIntEd) and (BIntEd) MOVED_TO (CNRC) implies (AIntEd) MOVED_TO (CNRC)
(A) ALTERNATIVE (B) and (B) POSSIBLY_EQUIVALENT_TO (C, D) implies (A) ALTERNATIVE (C, D)
(A) ALTERNATIVE (B) and (B) WAS_A (C AND D) implies (A) WAS_A (C AND D)
Note: Once MOVED_TO the NRC we (SNOMED International) have no knowledge of what has happened to BIntEd
