900000000000506000|Language type reference set|
supports the representation of language and dialects preferences for the use of particular descriptions . The most common use case for this type of reference set is to specify the acceptable and preferred terms for use within a particular country or region. However, the same type of reference set can also be used to represent preferences for use of descriptions in a more specific context such as a clinical specialty, organization or department.

Data structure

A Language reference set is a Component reference set that is used to indicate which descriptions contain terms that are acceptable or preferred in a particular language or dialect . Its structure is shown in the following table.

integer reference set member effectiveTimes inactive reference set member reference set member reference set member reference set member reference set member SNOMED CT module reference set member subtype of 900000000000443000 $$ Module (core metadata concept) $$ hierarchy reference set reference set member subtype of 900000000000506000 $$ Language type reference set $$ .SCTID description language reference set subtype of 900000000000511003 $$ Acceptability $$ description language dialect

Field

Data type

Purpose

id (field)

UUID (data type)

A 128 bit unsigned

Integer (data type), uniquely identifying this

.

Different versions of a reference set member share the same id (field) but have different

effectiveTime (field). This allows a reference set member to be modified or made

active (field) (i.e. removed from the active set) at a specified time.

effectiveTime (field)

Time (data type)

The inclusive date or time at which this version of the identified

became the current version.

The current version of this

at time T is the version with the most recent effectiveTime (field) prior to or equal to time T .

active (field)

Boolean (data type)

The state of the identified

as at the specified effectiveTime (field) .

If active (field) = 1 (true) the

is part of the current version of the set, if active (field) = 0 (false) the

is not part of the current version of the set.

moduleId (field)

SCTID (data type)

Identifies the

that contains this

as at the specified effectiveTime (field) .

The value must be a

of

Scg expression
ShowPartsid+term

.

refsetId (field)

SCTID (data type)

Identifies the

to which this

belongs.

In this case, a

Scg expression

referencedComponentId (field)

SCTID (data type)

referencedComponentId

The identifier of a

acceptabilityId (field)

SCTID (data type)

A

Note: The tables above omit the initial four columns of data present in the release file. These follow the standards versioning pattern id (field), effectiveTime (field), active , moduleId(field), active (field). Additionally, to aid understanding, the tables above also show the term from one of the descriptions associated with each of the identified concept . The release file only contains the identifier .
