Rules for how to represent SNOMED CT descriptions as FHIR designations using existing elements and BCP-47 language tags.
TODO: when is duplication of description needed? E.g. same description is prefered in en-US and acceptable in en-GB.
| Preferred | Acceptable | |
|---|---|---|
| "default" language refset for language | language = <lang tag>-X-<default-lang-refset> use = display (or preferredForLanguage) | language = <lang tag>-X-<default-lang-refset> use = 900000000000013009 |Synonym (core metadata concept)| |
| Consumer lang. refset | language = <lang tag>-X-<consumer-lang-refset> use = consumer | language = <lang tag>-X-<consumer-lang-refset> use = consumer same as preferred, rather unlikely? |
| Non-consumer lang. refset | language = <lang tag>-X-<lang-refset> use = display (or preferredForLanguage) | language = <lang tag>-X-<lang-refset> use = 900000000000013009 |Synonym (core metadata concept)| |
| Preferred | Acceptable | |
|---|---|---|
| "default" language refset for language | language = <lang tag>-X-<default-lang-refset> use = 900000000000003001 |Fully specified name (core metadata concept)| | |
| Consumer lang. refset | Unlikely to be used. | |
| Non-consumer lang. refset | Unlikely to be used. |
| Preferred | Acceptable | |
|---|---|---|
| "default" language refset for language | Use ../definition - likely only one per concept | |
| Consumer lang. refset | language = <lang tag>-X-<consumer-lang-refset> use = 900000000000550004 |Definition (core metadata concept)| or consumer?? | |
| Non-consumer lang. refset | language = <lang tag>-X-<lang-refset> use = 900000000000550004 |Definition (core metadata concept)| |
