Table: Concrete Value file - Detailed specification

Field

Data type

Purpose

Part of Primary Key

id

SCTID

Uniquely identifies the relationship.

NO

YES (Full/ Snapshot) 

effectiveTime

Time

Specifies the inclusive date at which the component version's state became the then current valid state of the component.

Note: In distribution files the effectiveTime should follow the short ISO date format (YYYYMMDD) and should not include the hours, minutes, seconds or timezone indicator.

YES

YES (Full)

Optional (Snapshot) 

active

Boolean

Specifies whether the state of the relationship was active or inactive from the nominal release date specified by the effectiveTime field.

YES

NO

moduleId

SCTID

Identifies the relationship version's module. Set to a child of 900000000000443000 | Module| within the metadata hierarchy.

YES

NO

sourceId

SCTID

Identifies the source concept of the relationship version. That is the concept defined by this relationship. Set to the identifier of a concept.

NO

NO
String


Identifies the concrete value that is related to the relationship version.

This could be an Integer, Decimal, String or Boolean. Numbers are prefixed with a # (hash) symbol and decimals are identified as such by the presence of a decimal point. Strings are surrounded with " (double quote) with double quotes inside the string being escaped using \ (backslash). Boolean true or false are written in lower case and take no prefix.

Note that the values that can be applied to particular attributes are formally defined by the   SNOMED CT Machine Readable Concept Model.

Yes

NO

Integer

Groups together relationship versions that are part of a logically associated relationshipGroup. All active Relationship records with the same relationshipGroup number and sourceId are grouped in this way.

YES

NO

typeId

SCTID

Identifies the concept that represent the defining attribute (or relationship type) represented by this relationship version.

That is the concept representing the value of the attribute represented by the typeId column.

Set to the identifier of a concept. The concept identified must be either 116680003 | Is a| or a subtype of 410662002 | Concept model attribute| . The concepts that can be used as in the typeId column are formally defined as follows:

Note that the attributes that can be applied to particular concepts are formally defined by the SNOMED CT Machine Readable Concept Model.

NO

NO

characteristicTypeId

SCTID

A concept enumeration value that identifies the characteristic type of the relationship version (i.e. whether the relationship version is defining, qualifying, etc.) This field is set to a descendant of 900000000000449001 | Characteristic type| in the metadata hierarchy.

YES

NO

modifierId

SCTID

A concept enumeration value that identifies the type of Description Logic (DL) restriction (some, all, etc.). Set to a child of 900000000000450001 | Modifier| in the metadata hierarchy.

Currently the only value used in this column is 900000000000451002 | Some| and thus in practical terms this column can be ignored. For further clarification please see Notes on modifierId.

YES

NO
