6.23 Resource ConceptMap - Content

Vocabulary Work GroupMaturity Level: 2Compartments: Not linked to any defined compartments

A statement of relationships from one set of concepts to one or more other concepts - either code systems or data elements, or classes in class models.

6.23.1 Scope and Usage

A concept map defines a mapping from a concept defined in one system to one or more concepts defined in other systems. Mappings are one way - from the source to the destination. In many cases, the reverse mappings are valid, but this cannot be assumed to be the case.

Mappings between code systems are only defined in the context of the specified source and destination value sets - they are specific to a particular context of use. The mappings may be useful in other contexts, but this must be determined based on the context of use and meaning; it cannot be taken for granted automatically. Note that all code systems have value sets that include the entire code system, and these value sets can be used for mappings that are valid in all contexts.

Each mapping for a concept from source to target includes an [equivalence] property that specifies how similar the mapping is (or, in some cases, that there is no valid mapping). There is one element for each concept or field in the source that needs to be mapped. Each source concept may have multiple targets:

  • because there are multiple possible mappings (e.g. ambiguous)
  • to specify a correct map, and specify other mappings as invalid
  • when there are multiple mappings depending on the values of other elements (dependsOn)

There SHOULD be at least one target for each element, but some incomplete concept maps may not have a target for each concept.

6.23.2 Background and Context

Further discussion of the issues involved in mapping between concept definition systems can be found in the HL7 v3 Core Principles document and the functionality described in the OMG CTS 2 specification.

6.23.3.2 Constraints

  • cmd-1: On ConceptMap.element.target: If the map is narrower or inexact, there SHALL be some comments (xpath on f:ConceptMap/f:element/f:target: exists(f:comments) or ((f:equivalence/@value != 'narrower') and (f:equivalence/@value != 'inexact')))

6.23.4 Notes

  • The value of the system and code element are the same as used by the Coding data type
  • When a mapping equivalence is characterized as "narrower", some explanation of the scope difference SHALL be provided in the comments
  • The concept map is a statement of mapping in a single direction. The existence of a matching mapping in the reverse direction cannot be assumed to exist automatically, but only through human review
