MRCM Attribute Domain Reference Sets

An MRCM Attribute Domain Reference Set allows attributes to be associated with the domains in which they may be applied. It also allows grouping and cardinality constraints to be specified for each attribute and domain combination. For each attribute-domain rule, the strength of the rule (e.g. Mandatory concept model rule), and the content type over which this rule applies (e.g. All SNOMED CT content) is also specified.

MRCM Attribute Domain type Reference Set member properties:

Property

Description

Referenced component

A reference to the SNOMED CT attribute concept to which the attribute-domain rule defined by this member applies

Domain

A reference to the SNOMED CT concept that identifies the relevant concept domain

Grouped

Whether or not the referenced attribute is treated by a Description Logic reasoner as belonging to a relationship group, when applied to a concept in the given domain.

  • grouped = 1 (true): attribute is treated by a Description Logic reasoner as belonging to a relationship group.

  • grouped = 0 (false): attribute is treated by a Description Logic reasoner as not belonging to a relationship group.

Attribute cardinality

The number of times the given attribute can be assigned a (non-redundant) value within the definition of each concept or expression

Attribute cardinality in group

The number of times the given attribute can be assigned a (non-redundant) value within a single relationship group as part of the definition of a concept or expression

Rule strength

Whether the given rule is mandatory (resulting in an error) or optional (resulting in a warning)

Content type

The type of SNOMED CT content over which this rule applies
