Extended Grammar of Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine – Clinical Terms for Semantic Representation of Clinical Data: Methodological Study

This work serves as a proof-of-concept that separating the rules of composition from vocabulary allows for a more flexible and robust description of clinical reality, provided that challenges regarding governance and machine readability are addressed.
