Springer Terminology Related Standards Development

Abstract

This chapter will concern itself with just a few of the many standard development organizations (SDOs) that are relevant to healthcare. Also, it will only discuss one or two standards created by an SDO as the volume of work is too large to be discussed in any one textbook. Also, there are many great leaders of informatics who have contributed to terminological standards, many of whom will not be mentioned as we are only providing information that will serve as poignant examples of standards related contributions to the field of healthcare terminologies or terminological representation.
