2MotivationSnorocket was initially implemented to support SNOMED CT authoringSome concepts cannot be correctly modelled without concrete domainsFor example, Hydrochlorothiazide 50mg tablet cannot be modelled without a data literal to represent the quantity of the active ingredientAMTv3 has recently introduced concrete domains3Architecture

6Test OntologiesSNOMED CTAustralian Medicines Terminology v3 (with concrete domains)AMT axioms are more complex than the typical axioms found in SNOMED CTHigh degree of nesting (e.g. to associate BOSS value and unit with actual ingredient)Still simple to author since axioms follow same patternOntology# Classes# Object Properties# Data Properties# AxiomsOriginalNormalisedSNOMED CT2965186206606101169613AMTv3610597841507505613317Test Ontologies
