ECL 2.0 Proposal

• The approach agreed at last week's SLPG meeting, and supported by SNOMED International is as follows:
  • To select and/or filter columns of a reference set, field names will be used
  • Field names will come directly from the international RF2 specification (http://snomed.org/rfs), if the associated reference set pattern is defined there. In all other cases, the field names will come directly from the RF2 files themselves. E.g.
    • ^  447562003 |ICD-10 complex map reference set|  {{ M mapGroup = #2, mapPriority = #1, mapTarget = "J45.9" }
  • The reference set pattern concepts defined in the international RFS, will always be a < 900000000000455006 |Reference set| and has no ancestor with a refset descriptor. Only reference set grouper concepts (which do not themselves have refset descriptors)
  • the highest subtypes of < |Reference set| that have a refset descriptor pattern.
• A computable representation of these international reference set patterns will be shared. Effective ways of distributing this computable representation can be raised in the MAG.
