Content Model
Content Model
The content model is a structured framework that captures the knowledge that underpins the definition of an ICD entity.
- Represents ICD entities in a standard way
- Allows computerization
- Each ICD entity can be seen from different dimensions or “parameters”. E.g. there are currently 13 defined main parameters in the content model to describe a category in ICD (see below).
- A parameter is expressed using standard terminologies known as “value sets”
