Non-editable field used to display the concept code.

Concept Category

Concept Type property used only by BiomedGT curators. Possible values are listed here for informational purposes only:

  • C = Common Words; these are linked to external references for definitions and usage, if possible.
  • N = Navigation
  • O = Ontologic
  • U = Unreviewed (or Undecided)

Preferred Name

Editable field. Remember that there can be only one preferred name. A preferred name should be explanatory and should help identify the context where possible (for example, Body Temperature rather than Temperature).

Coding Scheme

Refers to the terminology or subset in which the concept participates. The original coding scheme is non-editable, but you can add a second coding scheme where appropriate.

Info

For example, if the group working on CRCH subset wants to add another unit of measure to the nutrition subset that already exists in BiomedGT, they can select that unit and add CRCH as a coding scheme. To add a second coding scheme, click Add Another.
