Abstract
It is investigated whether the content of the Joint Linearization for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics of the 11th ICD revision can be semantically represented by formalisms acting on the clinical terminology SNOMED CT, viz. the IHTSDO Compositional Grammar (CG) and the Expression Constraint Language (ECL). Whereas CG provides a composition syntax for building coordinated SNOMED CT expressions, ECL provides a powerful query mechanism. Both formalisms can be leveraged to guarantee inter-operation between an ontology-based terminology like SNOMED CT and a statistical classification like ICD, characterized by single hierarchies and exhaustive, mutually exclusive classes. We test the feasibility of the method on the circulatory chapter of ICD-11 JLMMS.
