Classification of Diseases

• Step 1 - Accessing the domain

Click on the Icon and link shown above.

This will redirect you to the page below, where you can access, search and view the concepts in the domain. 

1. Navigation breadcrumbs

Navigation breadcrumbs are a user interface (UI) element that displays a hierarchical path of links, showing users their current location within the TS They provide a visual trail of the navigation path the user has taken to reach the current page or section.

Click on any link here to navigate back or forth to any point in your path.

2. Back Button

This is the left-facing arrow icon labelled with the word "Back," whose function is to let users go back to the previous page or screen they were viewing before their current one.

Click on the left-facing arrow icon to go back to previous page

3, Sub domains

Subdomains refer to specialized or narrower categories within a broader domain of concepts or terms. They are used to organize and manage concepts in a more granular way, making it easier to handle specific areas of interest or focus within a larger terminology system.

For example, this domain has concepts organized in 28 subdomains.

Use the scroll-bar on the left side within the sub-domains pain to see all subdomains

4. Concepts

A concept is a fundamental unit of meaning that represents a specific idea, object, or category within a given domain. In this domain, concepts refer to specific disease entities, conditions, or health-related phenomena that are categorized and described within the domain.

Concepts display within TS is characterized by

• Number - An incremental number within the list of concepts
• ID - This is unique id assigned to the concept by the system 
• Display Name - This is a brief description using common and natural language easy for users to understand.
• Concept class - a concept class is a category or type of concept that groups related concepts based on common characteristics or functions.
• Version - refers to a specific iteration or update of a set of concepts, classifications, or terminologies within a domain. Each version represents a snapshot of the terminology at a given point in time, capturing the state of concepts, classifications, and relationships as they were defined and used at that time. 
• UUID - <to confirm the difference with ID from Amos>

5. Search Bar and Search Button

You can search through the domain and sub domain using the search bar and search button. This search function searches within the specified domain, or the domain currently visited.

This search function should be distinguished from global search, which searches within the whole TS.  The two types of search are described in the next section

• Step 1- Search for a concept while anywhere within the TS

Use the Global search bar to search within the whole KNHTS.

Type your keywords in  the Global Search field and click on the search link to search within the whole TS

• Step 2 - Search within a domain

Use the Search Bar within the opened domain to search for a concept attached to that domain

This type of search will only search what is within the visited domain

This search will return all concepts associated with our search keywords, in this case, 'malaria' as shown below.

The display table columns are described below.

• ID - <to confirm with amos the difference between UUID and ID>
• Display Name -  Is the human-readable label or term used to represent a concept, term, or entity within  KNHTS
• Concept Class -  is a grouping or categorization of related concepts based on common characteristics or functions
• Data types - refer to the types of data that can be used to define the properties or attributes of concepts and other elements within the system. Datatypes specify the nature and format of data that can be associated with a concept, ensuring consistency and proper handling of information.
• Sources - Sources refer to the origins or authoritative references from which terms, definitions, and related metadata are derived, maintained, and managed. Refer to this page for more information
• Retired: refers to a concept that is no longer in active use or has been officially removed from the active terminology or classification system. This column returns the status of the concept e.g FALSE OR TRUE.
• Version Created On: refers to the timestamp or date when a specific version of a  concept, or data set was created or released.
• Version Updated On: Refers to the date and time when a specific version of a concept, or dataset was last modified or revised. This timestamp indicates the most recent changes or updates made to that version.
