Background

Section 2.1 defined URIs for editions and versioned editions. These URIs identify the contents of a Module plus all of the Modules it depends on (based on the module version dependencies). However, it is sometimes necessary to simply identify the contents of a single specified module only.

Form

URIs for modules come in two forms. To identify the contents of a module, independent of any particular point in time, the following form is used:

http://snomed.info/module/{sctid}

To identify the contents of a module at a particular point in time, the following form is used:

http://snomed.info/module/{sctid}/time/{timestamp}

Note that the timestamp used above is merely referencing a point in time, and does not need to coincide with a version release date.

Examples

The following table shows some examples of URIs for modules.
