Glossary
Domain Terms
Finding Site | An attribute relationship that contributes to the definition of the source concept by associating it with the value of a defining characteristic. Finding Site refers to the human anatomical location. |
Etiology | The study of causation, or origination. In medicine, the term refers to the causes of diseases or pathologies. In SNOMED CT, Etiology typically refers to external forces, harmful events, accidents, or genetic abnormalities. |
Morphology | The science of the forms and structure of organisms; the form and structure of a particular organism, organ, or part. |
Acyclic Taxonomic Hierarchy | SNOMED CT is organized into acyclic taxonomic (IS-A) hierarchies; for example, Viral pneumonia IS-A Infectious pneumonia IS-A Pneumonia IS-A Lung disease. Concepts may have multiple parents, for example Infectious pneumonia is also a child of Infectious disease. The taxonomic structure allows data to be recorded and later accessed at different levels of aggregation. SNOMED CT concepts are linked by approximately 1,360,000 links, called relationships. |
Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to consider the reorganization of descendants of Acute Inflammatory Disease (disorder), by site and etiology
