SNOMED CT is a concept-based, scientifically validated terminology that provides a unique
and permanent concept identifier that can be included in multiple HL7 data types including
CD and CE. The concepts are managed to avoid "semantic drift" so the meaning
remains constant. If the concept is found to be ambiguous or the meaning changes, the
concept is inactivated but still retained and the identifier is never reused. SNOMED
CT's concepts are interrelated hierarchically and using description logic. SNOMED CT
concepts have a unique "fully-specified name", a preferred term, and, optionally,
synonyms. The description languages include English and Spanish.
