ISO 1828:2012 pdf download.Health informatics – Categorial structure for terminological systems of surgical procedures.
ISO 1828 specifies the minimal characteristics of a categorial structure for terminological systems of surgical procedures and the minimal domain constraints to support interoperability, comparability and the exchange of meaningful information on surgical procedures, independently of the language, insofar as the significant differences are specified by the system.
NOTE 1 Further characteristics or more detailed value sets can be used for specific purposes.
NOTE 2 Categorial structures support interoperability by providing common frameworks within which to develop terminological systems that can be related to each other, and to analyse the properties of different terminological systems in order to derive relationships between them.
ISO 1828 is applicable to terminological systems of surgical procedures in all surgical disciplines. It covers only the terminology part, as defined in ISO 1087-1:2000, of the terminological systems of surgical procedures.
It is intended to be used by:
— organizations involved with the development or maintenance of terminological systems for surgical procedures, namely for multipurpose terminological systems on a national or international level;
— organizations developing and maintaining software tools that allow natural clinical language expressions analysis, generation and mapping to the main existing terminological systems of surgical procedures.
ISO 1828 is intended to be used as an integrated part of computer-based applications and for electronic health care records. It is of limited value for manual use.
ISO 1828 is not suitable for, nor intended for use by, individual clinicians or hospital administrators. It is not the purpose of ISO 1828 to standardize the end user terminological system or to conflict with the concept systems embedded in national practice and languages.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
categorial structure
minimal set of domain constraints for representing health care terminological systems entities in a precise subject field to achieve a precise goal
NOTE Adapted from ISO 17115.
3.2
domain constraint
rule prescribing the set of representations of relations that are valid to specialize a category in a certain domain
NOTE Adapted from ISO 17115.
3.3
category
type of entity shared by all the individual instances in existence in the present, past and future
EXAMPLE The category “liver” is instantiated by this liver and all individual livers in existence in the present, past and future.
NOTE I Categories may be more or less general. Where one category is subsumed by another, the is_a relation is asserted to obtain a hierarchy between the more specific or subsumed category and the more general or subsuming category.
NOTE 2 Each entity instantiates some category.
NOTE 3 Category is a synonym of generic concept as it is in ISO 17115.ISO 1828 pdf download.
