# Naming Convention for SEP Model

### 1. FSN must include the word 'structure', 'entire' or 'part' for concepts that are following the SEP model.

For example,

* Liver **structure** (body structure)
* **Entire** liver (body structure)
* Liver **part** (body structure)

### 2. All descriptions for Entire concept must contain the word 'Entire'.

For example,

| FSN                           | PT           | SYN                        |
| ----------------------------- | ------------ | -------------------------- |
| Entire liver (body structure) | Entire liver |                            |
| Entire thumb (body structure) | Entire thumb | Entire first digit of hand |

### 3. The word 'structure' can be omitted for synonyms.

For example,

| FSN                              | PT              | SYN                 | SYN   |
| -------------------------------- | --------------- | ------------------- | ----- |
| Liver structure (body structure) | Liver structure | Liver               |       |
| Thumb structure (body structure) | Thumb structure | First digit of hand | Thumb |

*S* concepts are usually named x structure (body structure) or structure of x (body structure). *E* concepts are usually named entire x (body structure) or x entire (body structure). *P* concepts are usually named x part (body structure) or part of x (body structure).
