Notes

  • Release files contain active and inactive components to provide a historical record of the content of the terminology at different points in time.

  • A concept is inactive when the most recent row with the concept.id in the full release file has the value concept.active = 0 (zero). The most recent row for a concept is based on the concept.effectiveTime value.

  • Inactive concepts may still be present in past records and queries but should no longer be added to newly created records.
