CONCLUSION: JULY 2026 Changes now included as expected, EXCEPT FOR DescriptionType CHANGE:
RefsetDescriptor files:
4x rows added to support previously omitted refsets:
900000000000529008 |SIMILAR TO association reference set| — 2 rows
Identical pattern to every other historical association refset in the snapshot (REPLACED BY, POSSIBLY EQUIVALENT TO, MOVED TO etc.):
Order 0:
900000000000532006(Association source component) /900000000000460005(Component type)Order 1:
900000000000533001(Association target component) /900000000000460005(Component type)
609430003 |Concept model reference set| — 1 row
Simple refset (no additional RF2 columns beyond the six common fields), so a single descriptor row:
Order 0:
449608002(Referenced component) /900000000000461009(Concept type)
733613001 |Intensional definition reference set| — 4 rows
Query-specification refset storing an ECL expression plus its provenance. Uses the three field-descriptor concepts introduced alongside this refset in July 2017:
Order 0:
449608002/ Concept typeOrder 1:
733617000(Query string) /707000009(SNOMED CT parsable string — the ECL expression)Order 2:
733615008(Query language) /1119461003(URI — identifies the ECL dialect)Order 3:
733616009(Authoring substrate) /1119461003(URI — SNOMED CT edition used for authoring)
733614007 |Expansion history reference set| — 3 rows
Records how an expansion was run (the query + the edition it ran against), so one fewer field than the intensional definition (no authoring substrate):
Order 0:
449608002/ Concept typeOrder 1:
733617000(Query string) /707000009(SNOMED CT parsable string)Order 2:
733612006(Expansion substrate) /1119461003(URI — SNOMED CT edition over which the query was executed)

Checking validity with Maria… (via slack)
Confirmed valid change by Maria in Slack on 9/6/2026:
Hi Andrew, you are right we don’t usually modify inactive descriptions but a keen author has done so in this case
https://authoring.ihtsdotools.org/#/tasks/task/INTQA/INTQA-8564/edit
it is a correct change and doesn’t trigger any validation issues so no content change needed
so all good
