A Concept Map is a resource that defines relationships between concepts in different code systems or value sets. It facilitates interoperability by mapping equivalent or related concepts across various terminologies, enabling systems to understand and process each other's data accurately.
Content​
Mapping from Source Code System to Target Code System.
Mapping​
Every Concept Map shall contain a table enumerating the complete set of all possible code words that are useable.
- Concept Map tables shall contain the following columns:
Source Code
,Relationship
andTarget Code
. - Mapping relationships shall always be described from
source
totarget
. - Relationship column values should link to the Concept Map Relationship concepts table.
- Code words should be formatted in
monospace
with backticks.
Example table mapping:
Source Code | Relationship | Target Code |
---|---|---|
animal | Equivalent | food |
fruit | Narrower Than | food |
llama | Narrower Than | animal |
math | Not Related To | animal |
peach | Narrower Than | food |
pies | Narrower Than | food |
object | Equivalent | substance |
peach | Narrower Than | fruit |
substance | Broader Than | food |
