How can SCT be used within M? We are at the beginning of an implementation of M and are pretty lost when it comes to support for SCT in M. We get different answers depending on who we ask.

• is there a character limit for terms that will trunctate SCT terms?
• does M store the concept-ID and/or the descripition-ID or none of those? (the screenshots I have seen have displayed description-ID)
• Can M handle synonymity; ie different terms are displayed in different parts of the system and are still found to be the same concept?
• Can M use description logic to search past history of a patient, for example for anytging concerning the heart?
• Can M make intesional refsets 'on the fly' or only use extensional ones? How are they managed - externally or within Millennium?

very thankful for anyone who can shed some light on these topics
