Please note: Delta files have been removed from the SNOMED International release package, but a Delta Generation Tool is available for those who need it. The Delta Generation Tool allows users to create their own Delta between two fixed release dates - you can find it here: https://github.com/IHTSDO/delta-generator-tool/releases.

These two release artifacts enable changes to be identified, and the nature of those changes understood. The delta release files provide information about all components or reference set members which have changed since the previous release. By comparing this information to the corresponding components or reference set members in the snapshot files from the previous release, stakeholders can understand which of these changes represent additions of new components or reference set members, and which represent new versions of existing components or reference set members. For more information on the different release types please refer to the release file specification.
