Grouping classes: from SNOMED-LOINC

[joeflack4]

Overview

The SNOMED-LOINC project (AKA "LOINC ontology") exists and is has overlap with CompLOINC. We want to leverage it and complement it. One way to do this is to utilize their existing grouping classes they've made.

Sub-tasks

• [ ] Find / import their ontology
• [ ] Identify & subclass to their grouping classes
  • Only reach out to them if we can't figure it out after looking at their docs and releases.

• Google doc about how we can complement SNOMED-LOINC, by Nico et al.
• SNOMED-LOINC release document

Joe has some more notes jotted down in Workflowy, but kind of messy.

Question: How to utilize their grouping classes? It seems simple to me, that we just import their ontology from URI, if it is downloadable, else we download and import it locally. Then for any grouping classes we identify and any subclasses that we determine, we just rdfs:subClassOf URI. @ShahimEssaid I think you may have had some other ideas in mind, perhaps, but does this sound to you more or less what we're going to do?
