Parameters

Use Name Scope Cardinality Type Binding Documentation

IN system type 0..1 uri

The system in which composition is to be performed. This must be provided unless the operation is invoked on a code system instance

IN version type 0..1 string

The version of the system for the inferencing to be performed

IN property 0..*

One or more properties that contain information to be composed into the code

IN property.code 1..1 code

Identifies the property provided

The value of the property provided

IN property.subproperty 0..*

Nested Properties (mainly used for SNOMED CT composition, for relationship Groups)

IN property.subproperty.code 1..1 code

Identifies the sub-property provided

The value of the sub-property provided

IN exact 1..1 boolean

Whether the operation is being used by a human ('false'), or a machine ('true'). If the operation is being used by a human, the terminology server can return a list of possible matches, with commentary. For a machine, the server returns complete or partial matches, not possible matches. The default value is 'false'

IN compositional 0..1 boolean

Post-coordinated expressions are allowed to be returned in the matching codes (mainly for SNOMED CT). Default = false

OUT match 0..*

Concepts returned by the server as a result of the inferencing operation

OUT match.code 1..1 Coding

A code that matches the properties provided

OUT match.unmatched 0..*

One or more properties that contain properties that could not be matched into the code

OUT match.unmatched.code 1..1 code

Identifies the property provided

The value of the property provided

OUT match.unmatched.property 0..*

Nested Properties (mainly used for SNOMED CT composition, for relationship Groups)

OUT match.unmatched.property.code 1..1 code

Identifies the sub-property provided

The value of the sub-property provided

OUT match.comment 0..1 string

Information about the quality of the match, if operation is for a human

Usage note: every effort has been made to ensure that the examples are correct and useful, but they are not a normative part of the specification.
