Scope: 1.1 Main purpose This European standard defines the characteristics required to synthetically describe the organisation and content of human anatomy within a terminological system. It is intended primarily for use with computer-based applications such as clinical electronic health records, decision support and for various bio-medical research purposes. This European standard will serve to -- facilitate the construction of new terminological systems in a regular form which will increase their coherence and expressiveness; -- facilitate maintenance of human anatomy within terminological systems; -- increase consistency and coherence of existing terminological system; -- allow systematic cross-references between items of human anatomy in different types of terminological systems; -- facilitate convergence among human anatomy within terminological systems; -- make explicit the overlap for human anatomy between different health care domains terminological systems; -- provide elements for negotiation about integration of different terminological systems into information systems between the respective developers; -- enable the systematic evaluation of human anatomy within terminological systems.
