stated view

A representation of concept definitions consisting only of assertions made or revised by SNOMED CT authors.

In contrast to the inferred view, the stated view does not include inferences generated by applying a description logic classifier.
The stated view is represented by axioms, that conform to the OWL functional syntax. These axioms are distributed in the OWL axiom reference set file

Prior to July 2018 the stated view of concept definitions were represented by relationships in the stated relationship file. During a transitional period between July 2018 and July 2019 the OWL reference sets were introduced. Since the end of that transitional period in July 2019, the stated relationship file is no longer maintained or distributed. More information on the earlier representation of the stated view is provided in a historical note on Representation of the Logical Model - Before July 2018.
