# Simple Map from SNOMED CT Reference Set

## Purpose

A [900000000000496009 |Simple map from SNOMED CT reference set|](http://snomed.info/id/900000000000496009) supports the representation of simple maps **from** SNOMED CT concepts **to** values in other code systems. No constraints are put on the number of coding schemes supported, the number of codes within a particular scheme mapped to by a single SNOMED CT concept or the number of SNOMED CT concepts mapping to a particular code. However, this type of reference set is usually only appropriate where there is a close "one-to-one" mapping between SNOMED CT concepts and coded values in another code system.

## Data structure

A [900000000000496009 |Simple map from SNOMED CT reference set|](http://snomed.info/id/900000000000496009) is a String Reference Set used to represent maps **from** SNOMED CT concepts **to** codes in another terminology, classification or code system. Its structure is shown in the following table.

## Reference Set Descriptor and Example Data

{% hint style="info" %}
**Notes on the tables used to show descriptors and examples**

The reference set example tables on this page have been revised as follows to aid clarity and understanding:

* The first four columns which are present in all release files are not shown. The omitted columns (id, effectiveTime, active, moduleId) are used in the same way in all referenced sets to support identification, versioning and packaging. They do not directly affect the specific features of a particular reference set or reference set type.
* Reference set columns that contain SNOMED CT identifiers are expanded to show details of the concept or description referenced by that identifier. In some cases, the term is shown in the same column using the expression syntax, in other cases an additional column with a name suffix '\_term' has been added. In the standard reference set files only the identifier is present in the column and there is no added column for the term. When using reference sets, the term and other details of the component are looked up from the relevant component release files.
