Figure 8: Abstract logical model of <strong>SNOMED</strong> CT components<br />

2.2.1.1. Descriptions and other non-definitional properties of concepts<br />

2.2.1.1.1. Descriptions<br />

The set of terms that describe a concept.These include fully specified names, preferred terms and synonyms<br />

in each supported language.<br />

2.2.1.1.2. Legacy codes<br />

Legacy Identifiers present in the <strong>SNOMED</strong> CT logical model include the CTV3ID (the Read Code from NHS<br />

Clinical Terms Version 3) and the SnomedId (the <strong>SNOMED</strong> code used in <strong>SNOMED</strong> 3).<br />

Note: The CTV3ID and <strong>SNOMED</strong>ID fields are no longer supported in <strong>Release</strong> <strong>Format</strong> 2. Instead a<br />

|Simple map (reference set)| is used to document the link between legacy codes and <strong>SNOMED</strong> CT.<br />

Note: The CTV3ID field should no longer be relied upon for mapping to and from the Read Codes.<br />

Additional mapping work in the UK identified some anomalies and resulted development of more flexibility<br />

table for Read Code Mapping<br />

2.2.1.1.3. Cross Maps<br />

Structure and Content <strong>Guide</strong> | 27<br />

Cross Maps to other terminologies and classifications are indirectly a part of the logical <strong>SNOMED</strong> CT model<br />

for concepts. However, this aspect of the model is outside the scope of this guide.<br />
