| 1 | Revision of IS A relationships for Skin structure concepts The new anatomy concept model has implemented the new Description Logic features, e.g. reflective and transitive property, general concept axioms, for consistent logical modeling. However, the new model cannot be implemented in production because these DL features currently are not available in production. The implementation of them will depend on the enhanced logic profile for SNOMED CT which is under development by the Modeling AG. Yet, the inferred IS A relationship from the OWL anatomy ontology can be reviewed and implemented in the production. This will utilise the outcomes of the new anatomy model as well as evaluate the design of the new model. In particular, it is important to review the changes of IS-A relationships in anatomy for quality assurance and minimise impact to other hierarchies, such as disorders, procedures, observables, situations etc.. | January 2018 International Edition |
| 2 | Improvement to the Release package naming convention In order to ensure that the status of each package is correctly identified, we will be capitalising the third element of the naming convention. For example therefore, instead of the January 2018 International Edition release package being called: SnomedCT_InternationalRF2_Production_20180131T120000Z.zip It will instead be called: SnomedCT_InternationalRF2_PRODUCTION_20180131T120000Z.zip Alpha/Beta releases will be called: SnomedCT_InternationalRF2_ALPHA_20180131T120000Z.zip SnomedCT_InternationalRF2_BETA_20180131T120000Z.zip | Already implementJuly 2017 International Edition |
