Examples of OWL in RF2 concept table format

Examples of OWL in RF2 concept table format

The following table includes some examples of OWL expressions in concept table format. The definition status in concept table is replaced by OWL expression in functional-style syntax. The OWL expression represents the logic definition for concept. The concept model attributes are declared as Object Properties in OWL. The attributes can also be declared as Data Properties. 

The annotation assertion includes the FSN for readability. They can be excluded or represented in description table if needed.  

The key issues raised by the group:

  1. One concept has multiple axioms and mixed with annotation assertions

  2. Lack of granularity of version control for each axiom. 

  3. Needs decision on which concept GCAs should be associated with, e.g. root concept SNOMED CT concept (SNOMED RT+CTV3) or SNOMED CT Model Component (metadata)

  4. Needs decision on which concept property chain should be associated with, e.g. superconcept of chain expression
