1998年的一篇论文描述了受控医学术语的可取特征或理想状态，试图总结关于此类术语的结构性问题的新的共识。在Desiderata中，有一项呼吁术语应该是“面向概念的”。从那时起，研究的趋势是将术语扩展到本体论。史密斯的一篇题为《从概念到临床现实：一篇关于生物医学术语基准的文章》敦促采取现实主义的方法，寻求由共性组成的术语，而不是概念。本论文讨论了史密斯提出的问题，并试图扩展Desiderata，不是脱离概念，而是朝着认识到概念和共性都必须被接受并可以在受控术语中和平共存的方向。为此，定义了额外的Desiderata，涉及受控医学术语的目的，而不是结构。(C)2005 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
A 1998 paper that delineated desirable characteristics, or desiderata for controlled medical terminologies attempted to summarize emerging consensus regarding structural issues of such terminologies. Among the Desiderata was a call for terminologies to be "concept oriented." Since then, research has trended toward the extension of terminologies into ontologies. A paper by Smith, entitled "From Concepts to Clinical Reality: An Essay on the Benchmarking of Biomedical Terminologies" urges a realist approach that seeks terminologies composed of universals, rather than concepts. The current paper addresses issues raised by Smith and attempts to extend the Desiderata, not away from concepts, but towards recognition that concepts and universals must both be embraced and can coexist peaceably in controlled terminologies. To that end, additional Desiderata are defined that deal with the purpose, rather than the structure, of controlled medical terminologies. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
