Canonical concept
The concept ID remains stable while labels vary.
A multilingual healthcare platform cannot rely on ordinary word-for-word translation. V13 separates the language label from the canonical concept so Arabic, Maltese, Spanish, Italian, French, German and other terms can resolve to the same governed identity where appropriate.
The concept ID remains stable while labels vary.
Use official language versions when available rather than blindly translating.
Maintain reviewed local aliases where global terminologies do not provide them.
The same word may map differently by context and language.
Preserve Arabic and other non-Latin scripts through search and matching.
Uncertain translations should be flagged for terminology review.
