Historical Note on Current and Previous Release File Formats

The standard format in which  SNOMED CT has been distributed since 2012 is known as  Release Format 2(RF2). It was developed in response to extensive feedback on the original release file format, now known as Release Format 1(RF1), in which SNOMED CT was distributed between its first release in 2002 and 2012. The RF1 format is now deprecated and no longer supported.
