| Title | Health informatics - Categorial structures for systems of concepts |
| Work Item Number | 00251146 |
| Abstract/Scope | 1.1 Main purpose The purpose of this European Standard is to establish the characteristics and the conformance rules required to synthetically describe the organisation and content of a terminological system in health. This European Standard has been developed to allow the production of specific standards on categorial structures for particular healthcare subject fields with the minimum requirements to support meaningful exchange of information. This European Standard is applicable to: - facilitate the construction of new terminological systems in a regular form which will increase their coherence and expressiveness; - facilitate maintenance of terminological systems; - increase consistency and coherence of existing terminological system; - allow systematic cross-references between items of different types of terminological systems; - facilitate convergence among terminological systems; - make explicit the overlap between different health care domains terminological systems; - provide elements for negotiation about integration of different terminological systems into information systems between the respective developers; - enable the systematic evaluation of terminological systems. 1.2 Target groups The target groups for this European Standard are: - designers of specialised standard healthcare terminological categorial structures; - developers of healthcare terminological systems including classifications and coding systems; - producers of services for terminological systems and designers of software including natural language processing; - information modellers, knowledge engineers, and standards developers building models for health information management systems; - developers of information systems that require an explicit system of concepts; - developers of mark-up standards for representation of healthcare documents (continued) |

(1) Date of ratification (dor) date when the Technical Board notes the approval of an EN (and HD for CENELEC), from which time the standard may be said to be approved
(2) Date of availability (dav) date when the definitive text in the official language versions of an approved CEN/CENELEC publication is distributed by the Central Secretariat
(3) Date of announcement (doa) latest date by which the existence of an EN (and HD for CENELEC), a TS or a CWA has to be announced at national level
(4) Date of publication (dop) latest date by which an EN has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement
(5) Date of withdrawal (dow) latest date by which national standards conflicting with an EN (and HD for CENELEC) have to be withdrawn
(6) This list of normative references is purely indicative. The only official list of normative reference is the list of the published standard.
In the case of undated standard, a link to the last dated version is provided.
In the case of series, a link to each standard identified in the series is provided.
We also invite you to check (via the website) whether corrigenda and/or amendments shall be read in conjunction with the main standard.
