Componentswithin SNOMED Clinical Termsare identified and referenced using numeric Identifiers. These Identifiershave the data type SCTID ( SNOMED CT Identifier).
The SCTID data type is 64-bit Integer which is allocated and represented in accordance with a set of rules. These rules enable each Identifierto refer unambiguously to a unique component. They also support separate partitions for allocation of Identifiersfor particular types of component and namespacesthat distinguish between different issuing organizations.
