The terminology server will accept CTU expressions when the stated attribute(s) refines the meaning of the focus concept, without adding new attributes or groups.

In this case, the terminology server will accept attributes-value pairs with the following characteristics:

  • The attribute is already present in the NNF of the focus concept
  • The attribute value stated in the expression is a subtype of the attribute value of the focus concept


Important Notes
  • If no groups are stated in the CTU expression (i.e. attributes are declared as loose attributes), the terminology server will accept attribute-value pairs correctly belonging to role groups of the focus concept as follows:
    • The terminology server will accept attribute-value pairs that refine one or more of the attribute-value pairs of the focus concept, i.e.
      • The attribute type should be the same as, or a subtype of, an attribute that already exists in the NNF of the focus concept, for which
        • The attribute value may be the same as, or a subtype of, the existing attribute value
    • The terminology server will reject attribute-values, if this is a supertype of the attribute value used in the definition of the focus concept
  • If groups are stated in the CTU expression
    • The terminology server will accept groups that refine an existing role group of the concept, i.e. the group stated in the CTU should represent a subtype of the role group of the focus concept

CTU expressionAccept/rejectNotesClassifiable form
Accept

The focus concept includes only one |Finding site| attribute with the value 39937001 |Skin structure|.

The finding site value of the expression (i.e. 113179006 |Skin structure of nose|) is a subtype of  39937001 |Skin structure|

Reject

The focus concept includes only one |Finding site| attribute with the value 39937001 |Skin structure|.

The finding site value of the expression (i.e. 76752008 |Breast structure|) is not a subtype of  39937001 |Skin structure|

N/A
Accept

The focus concept includes only one |After| attribute with the value 31884000 |Implantation of joint prosthesis into shoulder joint|.


The value of the |After| attribute in the expression (i.e. 733429004 |Prosthetic total arthroplasty of right shoulder|) is a subtype of |Implantation of joint prosthesis into shoulder joint|

Accept

The focus concept of the CTU expression is defined with two method attributes

The attribute of the CTU is a subtype of one of the attribute value pairs of the focus concept.

Accept

The focus concept of the CTU expression is defined with three groups, each containing a |procedure site- direct| method attribute

The attribute of the CTU is a subtype of one of the attribute value pairs of the focus concept.

AcceptThe loose attribute represents a subtype of one of the two |Procedure site - Direct| attributes of the focus concept
