The Machine Readable Concept Model (MRCM) represents the rules of the SNOMED CT concept model in a form that can be read by a computer and applied to test that concept definitions and expressions comply. The MRCM may be used for a variety of purposes, including the authoring and validation of SNOMED CT concepts, expressions, expression constraints and queries, Natural Language Processing and terminology binding to support semantic interoperability.

The draft SNOMED CT MRCM Specification is now available for your review at http://snomed.org/mrcm. This document presents the proposed design of the SNOMED CT MRCM, including the reference sets and attributes used to represent and distribute it. It also describes the background, use cases, requirements, logical design and design considerations, and is accompanied by a preview of the 20170131 SNOMED CT MRCM (represented using the proposed design).
