This Standard builds on a number of other elements of the IHTSDO SNOMED CT ecosystem. In particular its semantics are dependent on those of RF2 and the module and versioning mechanism.
This Standard defines a standard set of identifiers in the form of URIs. In order to maintain the integrity of the associated URI space, it is highly desirable for the IHTSDO to maintain ownership of the snomed.info DNS domain. While not a requirement of this specification, it would be useful if the URIs defined by this specification, with respect to SNOMED CT Core, were resolvable.
The Perl script that generates OWL (and other) representations of SNOMED CT that name things with URIs should use URIs conforming to this specification. It is important to understand that the URIs in this specification do not identify the representation of an entity, but rather identify the entity itself. Section 3.1, Resolving SNOMED CT URIs, covers this issue in more detail.
