The relevance of controlled vocabularies in promoting the standardized representation and exchange of clinical data is no longer to be proved. As part of a national project we evaluated the integration of classifications and terminologies in metadata registries based on the standard ISO/IEC 11179 Information technology - Metadata Registries (MDR). To overcome integration and maintenance tasks of monohierarchical classifications in the MDR, and to provide an exchange format between classifications publishers and the MDR, we implemented an import interface based on the Classification Markup Language (ClaML). The implementation transforms classifications from ClaML into a MDR conform structure using the Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT). Several XSLT-scripts were linked and successively executed. The national obliged classifications ICD-10-GM and OPS could be hence imported into the MDR. Problems arose with different interpretations and extensions of ClaML by WHO and the national publisher. We therefore advocate a unique interpretation of ClaML as prerequisite for a general use of the ClaML import interface.
受控词汇表在促进临床数据的标准化表示和交换方面的相关性已无需证明。作为一个国家项目的一部分，我们基于ISO/IEC 11179标准《信息技术 - 元数据注册库（MDR）》评估了分类法和术语表在元数据注册库中的整合情况。为了克服MDR中单一层次分类法的整合和维护任务，并提供分类法发布者与MDR之间的交换格式，我们基于分类标记语言（ClaML）实现了一个导入接口。该实现使用可扩展样式表语言转换（XSLT）将ClaML中的分类法转换为符合MDR的结构。多个XSLT脚本被链接并相继执行。因此，国家规定的分类法ICD - 10 - GM和OPS可以被导入到MDR中。世界卫生组织（WHO）和国家发布者对ClaML存在不同的解释和扩展，从而产生了问题。因此，我们主张将ClaML的唯一解释作为ClaML导入接口普遍使用的先决条件。
