The Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine (SNOMED) provides a detailed, structured vocabulary for medicine. It enables computer processing of medical records by linking terms and creating a knowledge base.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Biomedical Terminology

Background:

  • The Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine (SNOMED) is a comprehensive medical terminology.
  • It organizes terms into eleven independent modules for human and veterinary medicine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the structure and capabilities of SNOMED.
  • To highlight its role in creating computer-processable medical records.

Main Methods:

  • SNOMED organizes detailed, semantically typed terms.
  • Terms are linked to represent complex concepts or dissected into elemental parts.
  • Frame representation is used to illustrate terms, with ongoing work on conceptual graphs and semantic networks.

Main Results:

  • SNOMED is a structured nomenclature with fine-grained, semantically typed terms.

  • It functions as a linked data structure, creating an explicit knowledge base.
  • SNOMED can faithfully represent medical record data in a computer-processable format.

    • Conclusions:

    • SNOMED facilitates the explicit representation of medical knowledge.
    • Its structure supports the computer processing of clinical activities, observations, and diagnoses.
