This flyer contains an overview of the AAHA subset, including features, benefits, intended use, and how to obtain a copy.

"This article provides examples of how biomedical ontologies are and can be used in applications."

"Conceptual data modelling involves the development of implementationindependent models that capture and make explicit the principal structural properties of data..." "This paper describes the basics of the most widely used conceptual modelling notations, the ER (entity–relationship) model and the class diagrams of the UML (unified modelling language), and illustrates their use through several examples from bioinformatics."

"This paper was published in the proceedings of the 2012 ICBO meeting in Graz, Austria."

"Builders of medical informatics applications need controlled medical vocabularies to support their applications and it is to their advantage to use available standards. In order to do so, however, these standards need to address the requirements of their intended users."

"The OBO Foundry promotes the development of well-formed, logically sound ontologies which are interoperable with other ontologies. This article describes the Foundry principles and provides guidelines for those who want to join in the effort."

"Despite years of work, no re-useable clinical terminology has yet been demonstrated in widespread use. This paper puts forward ten reasons why developing such terminologies is hard."

At the completion of this lecture, the attendee will be able to site one or more benefits to structure recording of diagnosis in a medical record, be able to recognize common problems with diagnosis lists in medical record systems and have an adequate understanding of how to begin implementing the AAHA Problem and Diagnostic Terms in their own system. (Also applies to AAEP PDT)

This presentation introduces the core table structures in RF2 involved in using and displaying core and extension content in the browser. It also highlights changes from RF1 and aids in understanding the new mechanism for handling preferred designation of descriptions as well as how history is handled.

"This presentation describes the reasons for developing a new format for releasing the AAHA and AAEP Diagnostic Terms subsets of SNOMED, features of the new format, and information about its availability."

"This presentation describes the author's experiences while attending the ICBO meeting in Graz, Austria."

"This presentation describes the Animal Names Subset of SNOMED-CT. This subset includes common animal groupings, production classes and physiologic classes."

Controlled medical terminologies offer the promise of progress in Veterinary Medicine. However, effective implementation is a collaborative project.

This presentation introduces and describes medical information standards in support of SPL.

DailyMed provides high quality information about marketed drugs. This information includes FDA labels (package inserts). This Web site provides health information providers and the public with a standard, comprehensive, up-to-date, look-up and download resource of medication content and labeling as found in medication package inserts.

FDA’s SPL Resources website contains guidance documents, implementation guides, SPL Dockets, SPL schema, stylesheet, an SPL starter package and terminology lists and downloads.

"The Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) provides authoritative taxonomic information on animals, plants, fungi, and microbes. ITIS is the taxonomic source used as the basis for the selection of Linnaean classes in the NCBI Taxonomy to serve as superclasses of The Animals in Context Ontology (ACO) animal classes."

"The documents listed on this page include formal specifications of SNOMED CT and guidance on use and implementation."

Index page of IHTSDO Resources regarding SNOMED CT®

"The target audience for this Starter Guide includes people from various disciplines who may be involved at any point in the SNOMED CT information management cycle – from initial planning, clinical content definition and implementation through to use of the resulting clinical information"

"IHTSDO is now SNOMED International, a not-for-profit association that develops and promotes use of SNOMED CT to support safe and effective health information exchange. SNOMED CT is a clinical terminology and is considered to be the most comprehensive, multilingual healthcare terminology in the world. "

"This page contains information regarding obtaining a license to use SNOMED-CT in the US through the US National Library of Medicine."

"The OBO Foundry is a collaborative group that has established principles for good ontology development. This website contains information about the OBO Foundry, a list of ontologies to download, and additional resources pertaining to OBO ontologies."
