What are sources?

Sources get to the core of what OCL is all about. Sources are packages of clinical concepts. The most well known are internationally recognized packages of standardized terminology, like CIEL, SNOMED, ICD-10 and CPT. Sources can also be smaller packages: a Ministry of Health's government-mandated source of terms is an example.

What are sources used for?

Sources are used to create and edit concepts and mappings. Examples of sources include an OpenMRS concept dictionary (e.g. CIEL, AMPATH, PIH), a reference terminology or codeset (e.g. SNOMED CT, ICD-10), or indicator registry (e.g. WHO Indicator Registry). Custom dictionaries are also supported, which are useful for representing local or proprietary content or content that is still under development. Each source is owned by either a user or an organization.
