  <description value="SNOMED CT is a concept-based, scientifically validated terminology that provides a unique
   and permanent concept identifier that can be included in multiple HL7 data types including
   CD and CE.  The concepts are managed to avoid &quot;semantic drift&quot; so the meaning
   remains constant.  If the concept is found to be ambiguous or the meaning changes, the
   concept is inactivated but still retained and the identifier is never reused.    SNOMED
   CT's concepts are interrelated hierarchically and using description logic.    SNOMED CT
   concepts have a unique &quot;fully-specified name&quot;, a preferred term, and, optionally,
   synonyms.  The description languages include English and Spanish."/>
