language context

The net effect of various factors on which descriptions are preferred or acceptable to represent SNOMED CT concepts in a particular environment.

Notes

  • While national or regional languages are the primary factor in language context, local dialects and preferences for use of particular terms in a clinical specialty, organization or locality may also be significant contributing factors.

  • Language reference sets can be used to represent preferences for use of particular terms in a range of different language contexts.
