Tips and tricks

This is a guide to using the SNOMED CT Authoring Platform (AP) Version 6, based on the Snowstorm terminology server. AP Version 6 supports SNOMED CT content authoring using full OWL Axiom Description Logic modelling.

AP Version 6 is in use here:

Who is the Authoring Platform for?

  • SNOMED CT content authors
  • SNOMED CT content reviewers
  • Authors and reviewers creating and maintaining content in the SNOMED CT International Edition.

Why should I use it?

  • You can create new SNOMED CT content in the International Edition, including concepts requested from external sources such as the International CRS platform.
  • You can add new terms and/or modelling to a published SNOMED CT International Edition concept.
  • You can review and approve content for publication in the next SNOMED CT International Edition release.

What can I do with it?

  • Author new concepts in the SNOMED CT International Edition.
  • Update published concepts in the SNOMED CT International Edition.
  • Review content changes made by authors.
  • Implement a concept request submission (submitted/assigned via the International CRS platform).
  • Classify content changes.
  • Validate content changes.
  • Promote content changes for inclusion in the next SNOMED CT International Edition release.
  • Merge changes from other authors into my tasks within the same project (task rebase).
  • Merge changes from other projects into my project (project rebase).

When can I use it?

  • Any time, subject to occasional maintenance - the service is an online web-based application running continuously between occasional scheduled or emergency maintenance.
  • Scheduled maintenance may include new features, improvements, defect fixes and hosting environment updates.
  • Emergency maintenance may include operating system patches and security updates as well as high priority defect fixes.

Where should I use it?

  • Anywhere you can use a web browser with a preferred screen size of 1600 x 900 pixels or greater. Lower resolutions may be usable, but not optimised for the application components screen layout.
