The NCTS General Concept Map is designed to represent mappings between terminologies published as part of the National Clinical Terminology Service, and maximise interoperability within the NCTS ecosystem.

Elements (Snapshot)

PathCardinalityTypeDefinition
ConceptMap0..*A statement of relationships from one set of concepts to one or more other concepts - either code systems or data elements, or classes in class models.
ConceptMap.id0..1 id The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.
ConceptMap.meta0..1 Meta The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content may not always be associated with version changes to the resource.
ConceptMap.implicitRules0..0 uri A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content.
ConceptMap.language0..1 code The base language in which the resource is written.
ConceptMap.text1..1 Narrative A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource, and may be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.
ConceptMap.contained0..0 Resource These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.
ConceptMap.extension0..* Extension May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. In order to make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
ConceptMap.modifierExtension0..0 Extension May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource, and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. In order to make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.
ConceptMap.url1..1 uri An absolute URI that is used to identify this concept map when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance. This SHALL be a URL, SHOULD be globally unique, and SHOULD be an address at which this concept map is (or will be) published. The URL SHOULD include the major version of the concept map. For more information see [Technical and Business Versions](resource.html#versions).
ConceptMap.identifier1..1 Identifier A formal identifier that is used to identify this concept map when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance.
ConceptMap.identifier.id0..1 string unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
ConceptMap.identifier.extension0..* Extension May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. In order to make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
ConceptMap.identifier.use0..1 code The purpose of this identifier.
ConceptMap.identifier.type0..1 CodeableConcept A coded type for the identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.
ConceptMap.identifier.system1..1 uri Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.
ConceptMap.identifier.value1..1 string The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system.
ConceptMap.identifier.period0..1 Period Time period during which identifier is/was valid for use.
ConceptMap.identifier.assigner0..1 Reference Organization that issued/manages the identifier.
ConceptMap.version1..1 string The identifier that is used to identify this version of the concept map when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the concept map author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence.
ConceptMap.name1..1 string A natural language name identifying the concept map. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation.
ConceptMap.title0..1 string A short, descriptive, user-friendly title for the concept map.
ConceptMap.status1..1 code The status of this concept map. Enables tracking the life-cycle of the content.
ConceptMap.experimental1..1 boolean A boolean value to indicate that this concept map is authored for testing purposes (or education/evaluation/marketing), and is not intended to be used for genuine usage.
ConceptMap.date1..1 dateTime The date (and optionally time) when the concept map was published. The date must change if and when the business version changes and it must change if the status code changes. In addition, it should change when the substantive content of the concept map changes.
ConceptMap.publisher1..1 string The name of the individual or organization that published the concept map.

ConceptMap.group.unmapped.display0..1 string The display for the code. The display is only provided to help editors when editing the concept map.
ConceptMap.group.unmapped.url0..1 uri The canonical URL of the map to use if this map contains no mapping.
