This is an abbreviation for SNOMED CT concept definition.

SNOMED CT concept definition

A set of one or more axioms that partially or sufficiently specify the meaning of a SNOMED CT concept.

Notes

The axioms that specify a concept definition are represented in release files as SNOMED CT relationships or as OWL axioms that conform to the OWL Functional Syntax.

Change Notices

Before July 2018, all axioms were represented as relationships.
During a transitional period commencing with the July 2018 release of the International Edition, some axioms in stated view will be represented using the OWL functional syntax and at the end of the transitional period all stated view axioms will be represented in this way.
Inferred view axioms will continue to be represented as relationships.
