Review of comments supplied by members.

Use of URLs in Text Definitions

Suggestion that is we use a reference in a definition in SNOMED CT, we should be able to point to that reference in the text description. For published papers, can use the standard bibliographic referencing procedure (many of these have a DOI). For items that are only published on the web, a DOI might be sufficient. An edge case is where there is not a gold standard definition that can be referenced.

Use of URLs in text definitions: Not allowed.

DOIs were viewed to be acceptable for use as pointers to sources of definitions.

• Summarize final decision on use of URLs.
• Determine if DOIs are acceptable in definitions
• Write up summary and send to Editorial guide - JCA (How to find DOIs)
• Find out what happens of a document with a DOI gets removed from access. - JCA
