Purpose

A supports the representation of simple maps from to values in other code systems. No constraints are put on the number of coding schemes supported, the number of codes within a particular scheme mapped to by a single or the number of mapping to a particular code. However, this type of is usually only appropriate where there is a close "one-to-one" mapping between and coded values in another code system.

Data structure

A is a used to represent maps from SNOMED CT concepts to codes in another terminology, classification or code system. Its structure is shown in the following table.

Metadata

The following metadata supports this :
