# Features

### Concept model supported editing

When a new relationship is added, values for the attribute type and the target concept are classified either as *Sanctioned* or as *Unsanctioned.* *Sanctioned* means that those values are valid based on the Machine Readable Concept Model (MRCM), while *Unsanctioned* values are invalid based on MRCM rules.

{% hint style="info" %}
The international version of Snow Owl ships with SNOMED International's concept model

* [SNOMED CT Concept Model](https://confluence.ihtsdotools.org/display/DOCSTART/6.+SNOMED+CT+Concept+Model)
* [Concept Model Attributes](https://confluence.ihtsdotools.org/display/HRCM20180731/Concept+Model+Attributes)

However, this concept model is incomplete which means that many valid SNOMED CT concepts may be reported as violating their own model. Hence, these violations are indicated as warnings rather than errors.
{% endhint %}

That's also why we allow entering descriptions and properties that are not permitted (U*nsanctioned*) by the current concept model.

In case of unpublished changes for descriptions, a box around the description type is also displayed. Once a version is created, the box disappears and only a simple text is displayed, meaning the value cannot be modified anymore.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.b2ihealthcare.com/snow-owl-authoring-platform/editing-and-authoring/snomed-ct-concept-editor/features.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
