SNOMED is an inventory of medical terms and concepts. Each concept has a unique representation, it's primary termcode. The primary termcode carries hierarchical and inheritable information about each concept it represents. Additional hierarchical and inheritable information is carried by cross references linked to each concept. The cross references provide the defining characteristics for each concept thereby creating a computer readable definition for each SNOMED entry. These are some of the attributes that define the SNOMED model.
SNOMED是一个医学术语和概念的目录。每个概念都有一个唯一的表示形式,即其主要术语代码。主要术语代码携带有关它所代表的每个概念的层次结构和可继承信息。与每个概念相关联的交叉引用携带额外的层次结构和可继承信息。这些交叉引用提供了每个概念的定义特征,从而为每个SNOMED条目创建了一个计算机可读的定义。这些是定义SNOMED模型的一些属性。
