An

Gloss
Spacetrue
tAssociation reference set
is a
Gloss
Spacetrue
tComponent
Gloss
Spacetrue
treference set
used to represent associations between
Gloss
tcomponent
. Its structure is shown in the following table.

Field

Data type

Purpose

id

Specref
RefType
(field)
tid

UUID

Specref
RefType
(data type)
tUUID

A 128 bit unsigned Integer

Specref
RefType(data type)
tInteger
, uniquely identifying this
Gloss
treference set member
.

Different versions of a reference set member share the same id

Specref
RefType(field)
tid
but have different effectiveTime
Specref
RefType(field)
teffectiveTime
. This allows a reference set member to be modified or made active
Specref
RefType(field)
tactive
(i.e. removed from the active set) at a specified time.

effectiveTime

Specref
RefType
(field)
teffectiveTime

Time

Specref
RefType
(data type)
tTime

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

Gloss
Spacetrue
treference set member
became the current version.

The current version of this

Gloss
Spacetrue
treference set member
at time T is the version with the most recent effectiveTime
Specref
RefType(field)
teffectiveTime
prior to or equal to time T .

Specref
RefType
active
(field)
tactive

Boolean

Specref
RefType
(data type)
tBoolean

The state of the identified

Gloss
Spacetrue
treference set member
as at the specified effectiveTime
Specref
RefType(field)
teffectiveTime
.

If active

Specref
RefType(field)
tactive
= 1 (true) the
Gloss
Spacetrue
treference set member
is part of the current version of the set, if active
Specref
RefType(field)
tactive
= 0 (false) the
Gloss
Spacetrue
treference set member
is not part of the current version of the set.

Specref
RefType
moduleId
(field)
tmoduleId

SCTID

Specref
RefType
(data type)
tSCTID

Identifies the

Gloss
Spacetrue
tSNOMED CT module
that contains this
Gloss
Spacetrue
treference set member
as at the specified effectiveTime
Specref
RefType(field)
teffectiveTime
.

The value must be a

Gloss
Spacetrue
tsubtype
of
Concept
t900000000000443000|Module (core metadata concept)|
ShowFormatinline
within the metadata
Gloss
thierarchy
.

Specref
refsetId
RefType(field)
trefsetId

SCTID

Specref
RefType
(data type)
tSCTID

Identifies the

Gloss
Spacetrue
treference set
to which this
Gloss
Spacetrue
treference set member
belongs.

In this case, set to a

Gloss
Spacetrue
tsubtype
of
Concept
t900000000000521006|Association type reference set|
. This indicates the nature of the association between the source and target
Gloss
tcomponents
.

referencedComponentId

Specref
RefType
(field)
treferencedComponentId

SCTID

Specref
RefType
(data type)
tSCTID

The identifier of the source

Gloss
Spacetrue
tcomponent
of the association.

targetComponentId

Specref
RefType
(field)
ttargetComponentId

SCTID

Specref
RefType
(data type)
tSCTID

The identifier of the target

Gloss
Spacetrue
tcomponent
of the association.

...

The

Gloss
Spacetrue
tcomponent
identified by the targetComponentId
Specref
RefType(field)
ttargetComponentId
must be an instance of the same class of
Gloss
Spacetrue
tcomponent
as the
Gloss
Spacetrue
tcomponent
identified by the referencedComponentIdfor all |Historical association|
Gloss
Spacetrue
treference sets
apart from the |REFERS TO
Gloss
Spacetrue
tconcept
association
Gloss
treference set
|.

Within the |REFERS TO

Gloss
Spacetrue
tconcept
association
Gloss
treference set
|, the referenced ComponentId field must be a
Gloss
Spacetrue
tdescription
and the targetComponentIdmust be a
Gloss
tconcept
.

The targetComponentId

Specref
RefType(field)
ttargetComponentId
is used differently in the |MOVED TO association
Gloss
treference set
|. In this case, the targetComponentId
Specref
RefType(field)
ttargetComponentId
does not refer directly to a replacement
Gloss
tcomponent
, but rather to the namespace to which the
Gloss
Spacetrue
tcomponent
was moved to. The targetComponentId
Specref
RefType(field)
ttargetComponentId
actually refers to the
Gloss
Spacetrue
tconcept
that represents the namespace. This approach is used since the organization sourcing the
Gloss
Spacetrue
tcomponent
may not always be able to determine the precise reference that is applicable in the receiving organization (namespace). Thus the responsibility for these references lies with the new responsible (receiving) organization.
