Snap2SNOMED is designed for collaborative map development. When creating a map, the user decides between two overall workflows, namely:

  • Single author mode
  • Dual author mode

Each of these overall approaches supports a range of options for collaboratively developing a map from a given source code set to SNOMED CT. 

Single Author Mode

This overall approach supports multiple users working simultaneously on a map in a single author, single reviewer per source code manner. This means that work can be divided across a number of personnel to get work done.

A variety of workflows are currently supported, including:

WorkflowDescriptionProcess flow
Single user author + reviewA single user completes all author tasks for the map and then completes a review process on all mapped rows

single user author review process flow

Single user author (no review)

A single user completes all author tasks for the map.

No review process is required

single user author only process flow

Single author + single review

A single author completes all author tasks for the map.

A second user, the reviewer, will complete a review process on all mapped rows

single author single review process flow

Multiple author + multiple review

Two or more authors create mappings for each source code of the map.

Two or more reviewers completes the review processes on all mapped rows.

NOTE: A user can act as both an author and reviewer within the overall map (as assigned in a task), however, rules have been implemented to discourage the scenario of a user to reviewing their own authoring work. This can be overridden by an owner if required.

In the example flow shown, User 1 and User 4 can be the same person, ideally only reviewing the work of User 1+2.

Tips on using tasks

  • Source codes can only be assigned to one task of each type at a time, however, they can be assigned to both an author and a review task at the same time. This means that a source code needs to be released (task completed or cancelled) before it can be assigned to another task of the same type.
  • You can use tasks to group together similar content to ensure that users are looking at similar things at the same time and improve the efficiency and consistency of mappings.

Dual Author Mode

Dual author mode allows two authors to independently map the same source codes. Conflicts arising from differing interpretations are identified and resolved through a reconciliation process. This workflow brings the advantage of diverse perspectives, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of mappings. It ensures a cross-validation process where conflicting interpretations can be discussed, resolved, and reconciled, leading to accurate and reliable mappings between different coding systems or terminologies.

A variety of workflows are currently supported, including:

WorkflowDescriptionProcess flow
Two authors + single reconciler and single reviewer

Two users user completes all author tasks for the map.

A reconciler completes the reconciliation of conflicting maps.

An assigned reviewer completes the review of all map rows.

dual author

Two authors + single reconciler and multiple reviewers

Two users user completes all author tasks for the map.

A reconciler completes the reconciliation of conflicting maps.

One or more users are assigned as reviewers for a specific set of source codes. Each map row is assigned to a single reviewer.


Dual with two authors and multiple reviewers

Dual author mode with multiple authors + multiple reconcilers and multiple reviewers

Two or more users complete the author tasks that have been assigned to them. The work is divided so that two users are mapping each source code.

One or more users are assigned as a reconciler. Each map row is assigned to one reconciler.

One or more users are assigned as reviewers for a specific set of source codes. Each map row is assigned to a single reviewer.

Dual author, multiple authors, multiple reviewers

Two authors + reconciler and no review

Two users complete all author tasks for the map.

A reconciler completes the reconciliation of conflicting maps.

No review process is required. 

Dual author, no reviewer
