Abstract
A summary of the architecture of the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine (SNOMED) is given as well as the main design objective elaborated by the Nomenclature Committee of the College of American Pathologists. Some of the major areas of research made possible by SNOMED, as well as a series of practical applications, are reviewed in the light of contributions to medical language processing.
