Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
SNOMED CT's new RF2 format is said to come with features for better configuration management of the SNOMED vocabulary, thereby accommodating evolving requirements without the need for further fundamental change in the foreseeable future. Although the available documentation is not yet convincing enough to support this claim, the newly introduced Model Component hierarchy and associated reference set mechanism seem to hold real promise of being able to deal successfully with a number of ontological issues that have been discussed in the recent literature. Backed up by a study of the old and new format and of the relevant literature and documentation, three recommendations are presented that would free SNOMED CT from use-mention confusions, unclear referencing of real-world entities and uninformative reasons for change in a way that does not force SNOMED CT to take a specific philosophical or ontological position. |
