Summary
Three problems arising with the use and improvement of SNOP are discussed with their solutions: 1.) complete categorical encoding of disease; 2.) dual categorization of nomenclature terms; 3.) coding physiological function and dysfunction as a function and a topography. These solutions entail the expansion of the class of mathematical models for classified nomenclatures from tree hierarchies to partially ordered sets.
Drei Probleme, die sich aus der Anwendung und Verbesserung von SNOP ergeben, und ihre Lösungen werden diskutiert: 1.) komplette kategorische Verschlüsselung von Krankheit; 2.) duale Kategorisierung von Nomenklaturbegriffen; 3.) Verschlüsselung physiologischer Funktion und Dysfunktion als eine Funktion und Topographie. Diese Lösungen ziehen die Erweiterung der Klasse mathematischer Modelle für klassifizierte Nomenklaturen von Baumhierarchien auf teilweise geordnete Mengen nach sich.
