URI Specification

• Recap on purpose of SNOMED CT computable language URIs

• Recap on language instance URIs (e.g. URIs for expressions and expression constraints)

Proposed Language Features

Other topics for discussion. For example:

• ECL suggestions - Ability to execute maps in ECL

  • Transitive relationships and role chaining in ECL (to align with new enhanced DL axioms)

    • Example 1:

      • Direct relationship < 404684003 |Clinical finding|: << 47429007 |Associated with| = *

      • Transitive relationship < 404684003 |Clinical finding|: << 47429007 |Associated with|* = *

    • Example 2:

      • Direct relationship < 71388002 ||: 363701004 |Direct substance| = 372687004 |Amoxicillin|

      • Role chained relationship (via 738774007 |is modification of|) < 71388002 ||: 363701004 |Direct substance|* = 372687004 |Amoxicillin|

  • The specific use-case here comes initially from Jeremy and relates to being able to work with inactive concepts via the historical association maps. For example, given an ECL expression, e, that identifies a set of concepts to be used for retrieving patient records, you probably also want to retrieve records for sameAs(e) and replacedWith(e)

    • Example 1:

      • ??? (< 72704001 |Fracture| AND ^ 900000000000527005 |SAME AS association reference set|) . 900000000000533001 |Association target component|

• Query language - Can we de-scope relationship filters?

• Unacceptable Terms

  • (D.term = "*heart") MINUS (D.term = "*heart", D.acceptability = * LANGUAGE X)

Language preferences using multiple language reference sets

• LRSs that use the same Language tend to use 'Addition' - i.e. child LRS only includes additional acceptable terms, but can override the preferred term

  • E.g. Regional LRS that adds local dialect to a National LRS

  • E.g. Specialty-specific LRS

  • E.g. Irish LRS that adds local preferences to the en-GB LRS

    • 99999900 |Irish language reference set| PLUS |GB English reference set|

• LRSs that define a translation to a different language tend to use 'Replacement' - i.e. child LRS replaces set of acceptable and preferred terms for any associated concept

  • E.g. Danish LRS that does a partial translation of the International Release

    • 999999 |Danish language reference set| ELSE |GB English reference set|
