General
1

Maybe you follow the SDOs in lab space and you may be aware of collaboration between LOINC and SNOMED CT SDOs.

New files released by SNOMED Int and LOINC at Download LOINC Ontology File – LOINC / SNOMED CT
provide an interesting new approach to lab terminology.

You can read more at the website of https://loincsnomed.org/

The browser (linked from that website) allows searching the loinc code directly !

This info is also in the download zip file in file sct2_Identifier_Full_LO1010000_20250321.txt

It will be interesting to see what SNOMED concept model rigor brings in.

Vocab workgroup may want to discuss this at some point.

Hi Vojta, we are following the SDOs in lab space :slight_smile:

In fact, the vocabulary team has been working closely with both SNOMED and LOINC and exchanged ideas and bug reports. The files you mention are already utilised in our LOINC-SNOMED hierarchy construction, we started in February 2024 as indicated in the release notes.
