If I want to reference an EVS concept when Im curating a Classification Scheme or Conceptual Domain, what do I do?
Use the following conventions. • Classification Schemes and Conceptual Domains: Use “Alternate Name”. Use the caDSR Admin Tool to add the alternate name, using the “type” drop down list; select the appropriate type name depending on the source terminology. If you do not find an appropriate “type” code, send an email to NCICB Application Support asking for the type to be added. The request will be sent to the caDSR development team who can update the “type” name list almost immediately during regular business hours. • Classification Scheme Items: “Comments” Field. Put the concept identifier from the source terminology into the Comments Field. Use a semi-colon as a separator character, along with the concept’s source type name, and any other information that will help us resolve the concept id when the data is converted. The easiest references to resolve will be concept codes from terminologies already served by EVS. For those, we’d appreciate if you use the alternate name types already
