Health informatics - Syntax to represent the content of healthcare classification systems - Classification Markup Language (ClaML) (ISO 13120:2013)
The main purpose of this International 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 should therefore be rich 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.
Medizinische Informatik - Syntax zur Darstellung des Inhalts medizinischer Klassifikationssysteme - Klassifikations-Auszeichnungssprache ClaML (ISO 13120:2013)
Der Hauptzweck dieses internationalen Standards ist die formelle Darstellung des Inhalts und der hierarchischen Struktur von medizinischen Klassifikationssystemen in Auszeichnungssprache (en: markup language), um den sicheren Datenaustausch zwischen Organisationen und verschiedenen Softwareprodukten zu ermöglichen.
Der Anwendungsbereich medizinischer Klassifikationssysteme, welcher durch diese Internationale Norm abgedeckt wird, umfasst Terminologien und ist an traditionellen, auf Papier basierenden Systemen (wie z. B. ICD-10) und kompositorischen Systemen, welche nach kategorischen Strukturen und Thesaurus aufgebaut sind (wie z. B. ICNP) angelehnt.[3] Dieser internationale Standard soll Textinformationen, hierarchische Strukturen, Einschluss- bzw. Ausschlusskriterien und Kodierungen darstellen. Er soll nicht alle formalen Darstellungen abdecken, weder zur Definition von Konzepten noch zur Festlegung von Klassifizierungsregeln. Systeme mit derartigen formalen Festlegungen können bestenfalls teilweise durch diesen Standard dargestellt werden und gehen über den Umfang des Standards hinaus.
Informatique de santé - Syntaxe de représentation du contenu des systèmes de classification des soins de santé - Langage de marquage de la classification (ClaML) (ISO 13120:2013)
L'ISO 13120:2013 vise principalement à représenter de manière formelle le contenu et la structure hiérarchique des systèmes de classification des soins de santé dans un langage de balisage pour l'échange et la diffusion sécurisés des données et la structure entre les organismes et les produits logiciels dissemblables.
Le domaine d'application des systèmes de classification des soins de santé couvert par l'ISO 13120:2013 comprend les terminologies et se limite aux systèmes papier traditionnels (par exemple CIM-10) et aux systèmes compositionnels élaborés selon des structures catégoriques et un thésaurus croisé (par exemple ICNP). L'ISO 13120:2013 est destinée à la représentation de systèmes de classification des soins de santé dont les classes comportent des définitions textuelles, une hiérarchisation, des niveaux hiérarchiques nommés [tels que «chapter» (chapitre), «section» (section)], des critères d'inclusion et d'exclusion ainsi que des codes. Elle n'est pas destinée à couvrir la représentation formelle d'aucune sorte, ni la définition de concepts, ni la spécification des règles de classification. Les systèmes contenant ces spécifications formelles peuvent éventuellement être en partie représentés à l'aide de l'ISO 13120:2013 mais ne sont pas couverts par le domaine d'application.
L'ISO 13120:2013 n'est pas destinée à:
fournir une syntaxe normative sur la manière dont un système de classification des soins de santé doit être construit;
définir les types de liens entre les éléments d'un système de classification des soins de santé. Cette tâche appartient aux concepteurs des systèmes de classification des soins de santé;
fournir une représentation en vue d'une visualisation ou d'une impression directe.
Zdravstvena informatika - Sintaksa predstavitve vsebine klasifikacijskih sistemov v medicini - Označevalski jezik za klasifikacijo (ClaML) (ISO 13120:2013)
Glavni namen tega mednarodnega standarda je podpora varnega prenosa večine hierarhičnih klasifikacijskih sistemov v medicini med organizacijami in različnimi programskimi izdelki. Namenjen je za zagotavljanje temeljne predstavitve, iz katere je mogoče izpeljati vse oblike izdaj. Standard naj bi bil torej dovolj izčrpen za edinstveno oznako in opis strukture ter ustreznih elementov v teh sistemih. Ta standard ni namenjen za določanje pomena strukturnih elementov v klasifikacijskih sistemih. Namen tega standarda ni vloga neposrednega formata za tiskanje ali prikaz vsebine klasifikacijskega sistema. Prikazi in tiski se izpeljejo iz te predstavitve z naknadno obdelavo.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Introduction
Healthcare classifications are developed and distributed in a variety of informal formats, such as MS
Word, with little consistency in approach between developers. Exchanging data from these systems
or attempting to parse the informal text into a more formal structure, say for publishing purposes,
presents many challenges because unwanted mistakes are easily made, and difficult to detect. For
example, the accidental deletion of a tab can transform a sibling rubric into a parent. ASCII files with
comma separated value fields is another mechanism widely used for storing and transferring data, but
as a solution here is limited by insufficient formal structuring capabilities.
In the interests of safely exchanging and distributing the content and hierarchical structure of
healthcare classification systems, this International Standard presents a simple XML specification,
ClaML, for exchange and distribution of healthcare classifications systems. XML is the chosen format
for this International Standard as: a) XML provides the necessary structuring elements, and b) there are
many readily available XML parsers in existence.
This International Standard builds on CEN/TS 14463:2002 in that the primary focus of CEN/TS 14463:2002
was to support electronic data processing. Assessment of CEN/TS 14463:2002 revealed the need to
extend the areas for version control and maintenance within the Standard and this was supported by
insight from the health informatics community who have been active in the implementation of this
International Standard.
This International Standard is intended to serve as the core representation from which all publication
forms can be derived. It contains information of a depth sufficient to uniquely identify and describe the
structure and relevant element of healthcare classification systems. This International Standard does
not intend to prescribe to developers how healthcare classification systems should be structured, nor
does it define or explain the meaning of the structuring elements. This International Standard is not
meant to be a direct format for printing or viewing the content of a healthcare classification system.
Views and prints are to be derived from this representation by post processing.
This International Standard is targeted at:
[2]
a) developers of first generation healthcare classification systems, 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 healthcare classification systems in their applications;
c) organizations responsible for updating healthcare classification systems;
d) institutions receiving updated healthcare classification systems.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 13120:2013(E)
Health informatics — Syntax to represent the content of
healthcare classification systems — Classification Markup
Language (ClaML)
1 Scope
1.1 Main purposes
The main purpose of this International Standard is to formally represent the content and hierarchical
structure of healthcare classification systems in a markup language for the safe exchange and distribution
of data and structure between organizations and dissimilar software products.
The scope of healthcare classifications systems covered in this International Standard encompasses
terminologies, and is constrained to traditional paper-based systems (like ICD-10) and systems built
[3]
according to categorial structures and a cross thesaurus (like ICNP). This International Standard
is intended for representation of healthcare classification systems in which classes have textual
definitions, hierarchical ordering, named hierarchical levels (such as “chapter”, “section”), inclusion-
and exclusion criteria, and codes. It is not intended to cover any formal representation, either for
definition or composition, of concepts, or for specification of classification rules. Systems with such
formal specifications can at best be partially represented using this International Standard, and are
hence out of scope.
1.2 Topics considered outside the scope of this International standard
This International Standard is not intended to:
a) provide a normative syntax on how a healthcare classification system is to be constructed;
b) define link types between elements in a healthcare classification system; this is left to the developers
of healthcare classification systems;
c) provide a representation for direct viewing or printing.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

4 Conformance
The normative part of this International Standard is written in the form of a document type definition
(DTD). Many commercially available XML tools provide facilities to test the conformance of an XML
document with a DTD. Users of this International Standard are encouraged to perform such a test before
distributing their healthcare classifications in the format of this International Standard. Alternatively, a
conformance test using an XML Schema Definition (XSD) can be performed, but an XSD is not part of the
current revision of this International Standard.
5 Conventions
The font Courier New is used to denote the DTD of ClaML.
Bold text is used to denote elements and attributes defined in the DTD. For names of elements CamelCase
is used (i.e. a single string, without spaces, consisting of multiple words, each starting with a capital); for
names of attributes lowercase is used.
6 Classification markup language
6.1 Basis of the syntax
The basis of the syntax is to represent the content of healthcare classification systems. The syntax
defined in this International Standard is called Classification Markup Language. It is defined here in the
form of a DTD. The reference to this syntax will be headed to ClaML in the remainder of this document.
The Version of ClaML described in this document is Version 2.0.0.
