Intra-axiom redundancies in SNOMED CT

作者：

Highlights：

• We present a method to automatically detect intra-axiom redundancies.

• In SNOMED CT, intra-axiom redundancies are continuously introduced and removed.

• In SNOMED CT, a consistent proportion of about 12 overlooked redundancies may result in suboptimal maintenance.

• Redundancy detection and elimination should be part of terminology maintenance.
