Guide
A user guide for the authoring platform is available at http://snomed.org/apug.
What is SNOMEDLand?
All authoring in the Training Authoring Platform will be conducted in the SNOMEDLand extension.
The SNOMEDLand Edition includes both the International Edition and the SNOMEDLand extension. Two language reference sets are provided:
- US English language reference set (US)
- SNOMEDLand English language reference set (ZZ)
The acceptability of all SNOMEDLand extension descriptions can be changed. However, the acceptability of US English descriptions created in the International Edition cannot be changed.
Note: For the purpose of the exam, please use the same FSN in both language reference sets, and the same Preferred Term in both language reference sets.
Classification
When a classification is complete, a label should appear at the top of the page in the task.
PLEASE NOTE : There are times when this label may not appear. It is therefore worth checking in the 'My Tasks' screen whether or not the classification process has completed. When the classification is complete, the blue bell symbol under 'Classification' will change to green for that task.
