is a natural identifier for an Editionedition. When combined with a Timestamp timestamp corresponding to a sourceEffectiveTime appearing in the MDRS, this unambiguously identifies a Version the module identifier can unambiguously identify a version of an Editionedition.
The URIs that identify (unversioned) Editions and Versions unversioned editions (i.e. editions) and versioned editions (i.e. , versioned Editionsversions) take the following respective forms:
http://snomed.info/sct/{sctid}
http://snomed.info/sct/{sctid}/version/{timestamp}
Note, while it would be possible to extend this pattern to support multiple root Modulesmodules, each with their own sourceEffectiveTime, this introduces would introduce non-trivial complexities. For example, the Modules modules they each depend upon may themselves overlap but have different versions (targetEffectiveTime) in which case the implied content would be inconsistent. The SNOMED CT URI Guide contains additional discussion and guidance on this topic. Anchor
