Background

A SNOMED CT component is a concept, description or relationship that conforms with the SNOMED CT logical model. All SNOMED CT components are identified by an SCTID. 1 .

A SNOMED CT reference set member is a uniquely identified row of a reference set. All reference set members are identified by a UUID (rather than an SCTID).

Form

URIs for components, based on the corresponding SCTID, take the following form:

http://snomed.info/id/{sctid}

URIs for members of a Reference Set, based on the corresponding UUID, take the following form:

http://snomed.info/id/{uuid}

For simplicity this document refers to either of the above forms as a component URI.

Examples

The following table shows some examples of URIs for components and reference set members.
