SMART Guidelines L3 SOP
1.0.0 - release
This page is part of the SMART IG STARTER KIT (v1.0.0: Release) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) v5.0.0. This is the current published version in its permanent home (it will always be available at this URL). For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions
L3 authors have the responsibility to ensure that the data models use standard concepts. There are several reference information models and definitions, each with their purpose, their localization possibilities. Picking a standard model is therefore not guarantee of full-proof semantic interoperability.
For an L3 author, the requirement is to ensure that every data element mentioned in the logical model is mapped to a WHO Commons concept in the WHO Common dictionary.
This introduces the WHO SMART Commons dictionary as the pivotal semantic reference. In turn, the WHO SMART Commons dictionary relates to any other semantic reference

in IPSWhere possible, reference models should be used; different implementations may need to follow different models - this approach supports further semantic interoperability. See section “Semantic Compatibility Assessment” for more details.
The introduction of concept management (by means of common data dictionaries) enables a more complete approach to semantic interoperability.
Each concept in the Commons dictionary has therefore its definition and mappings:
The mapping is maintained centrally.
