Health informatics - A syntax to represent the content of medical classification systems - ClaML

1.1   Main purposes
The main purpose of this European Standard is to support the safe transfer of the majority of hierarchical healthcare classification systems between organisations and dissimilar software products. It is intended to serve as the core representation, from which all publication forms can be derived. The Standard shall therefore be in depth enough to uniquely identify and describe the structure and the relevant elements in those systems. This Standard does not intend to prescribe the meaning of structuring elements in classification systems. This Standard is not meant to be a direct format for printing or viewing the contents of a classification system. Views and prints shall be derived from this representation by post processing.
1.2   Target groups of this European Standard
This European Standard is applicable to:
a)   developers of first and second generation [2] classification systems and terminologies, to assist in the construction, maintenance and publication (both in paper and electronic formats) of a particular system;
b)   developers of information systems to assist in the inclusion of mechanisms for unambiguous loading of classification systems in their applications;
c)   organisations responsible for updating classification systems;
d)   institutions receiving updated classification systems.
1.3   Topics considered outside the scope of this European Standard
This European Standard is not intended to:
a)   provide a normative syntax on how a classification system shall be constructed;
b)   define link types between elements in a classification system; this is left to the developers of classification systems;
c)   provide a representation for direct viewing or printing.

Medizinische Informatik - Syntax zur Darstellung des Inhalts medizinischer Klassifikationssysteme (ClaML)

Informatique de la santé - Syntaxe permettant de représenter le contenu des systèmes de classification médicaux - ClaML

1.1   Objectifs principaux
La présente Norme européenne a pour objectif principal d’aider à transférer en toute sécurité la plupart des systèmes de classification hiérarchiques de santé entre les organismes et les produits logiciels dissemblables. Elle vise à jouer le rôle de représentation centrale, à partir de laquelle toutes formes de publication peuvent être dérivées. La norme doit donc être suffisamment riche pour identifier et décrire sans équivoque la structure et les éléments correspondants de ces systèmes. La présente Norme ne vise pas à prescrire la signification des éléments structurants des systèmes de classification. Elle n’est pas sensée constituer un format direct d’impression ou de visualisation du contenu d’un système de classification. Les visualisations et les impressions doivent être dérivées de cette représentation par un traitement ultérieur.
1.2   Groupes cibles de la présente Norme européenne.
La présente Norme européenne est applicable par :
a)   les concepteurs de systèmes de classification et de terminologies de la première et de la seconde générations [2], pour les aider à concevoir, diffuser et assurer la maintenance d’un système particulier (que ce dernier soit en format papier ou électronique) ;
b)   les concepteurs de systèmes informatiques, pour les aider à intégrer des mécanismes permettant de charger sans ambiguïté les systèmes de classification dans leurs applications ;
c)   les organismes responsables de la mise à jour des systèmes de classification ;
d)   les institutions recevant les systèmes de classification mis à jour.
1.3   Sujets estimés en dehors du domaine d’application de la présente Norme européenne
La présente Norme européenne n’est pas destinée à :
a)   fournir une syntaxe normative sur la façon dont il faut construire un système de classification ;
b)   définir les types de liens entre les éléments d’un système de classification, aspect qui est à la charge des concepteurs de systèmes de classification ;

Industry is faced with a variety of formats in which classification systems are delivered. Many different parsers have to be maintained and yet, due to the informal nature of texts, it is hard to give a 100 % guarantee for correct parsing into more formal structures.
For work on classification systems, revision work and especially when terminological tools are used for work on classification systems there is a need to store and transfer classification systems while maintaining the structure of codes, rubrics, comments, inclusion/exclusion criteria etc. A neutral format like plain ASCII files with comma separated value fields is widely used, but has insufficient structuring capabilities. XML is the chosen format for this Standard as a) XML provides the necessary structuring elements, and b) there are many readily available XML parsers in existence. This standard builds on CEN/TS 14463:2002 in that CEN/TS 14463:2002 primary focus was to support Electronic Data Processing. Assessment of CEN/TS 14463:2002 as well as growing insights from other areas has revealed the need for a tighter version management. The scope of the standard therefore has been explicitly extended
