What is the SPHN Terminology Service?
Medical domains in healthcare and research use a large amount of different terminologies to encode medical data. Standards such as SNOMED CT, LOINC, ICD-10 and ATC provide the foundation for a common medical language required to semantically represent health data.
SPHN provides a FAIR data ecosystem to link health data. An essential component of this ecosystem is the DCC Terminology Service. It provides SPHN interoperability framework compliant, machine-readable versions of national and international terminologies and classifications in RDF, the preferred SPHN exchange format.
Access to the SPHN Terminology Service
The DCC Terminology Service is available directly in the individual project spaces on the BioMedIT nodes or for download via the BioMedIT portal.
