医学信息学应用的构建者需要受控的医学词汇表来支持他们的应用，使用现有的标准对他们有利。然而，为了做到这一点，这些标准需要满足其预期用户的要求。在过去的十年中，医学信息学研究人员已经开始阐明其中的一些要求。本文汇集了一些共同的主题，已被描述，包括：词汇内容，概念导向，概念持久性，非语义概念标识符，多层次结构，正式定义，拒绝“不在别处分类”的条款，多粒度，多一致的意见，上下文表示，优雅的演变，并承认冗余。标准开发人员开始认识到并解决这些需求，并调整他们的产品以满足这些需求。
Abstract Builders of medical informatics applications need controlled medical vocabularies to support their applications and it is to their advantage to use available standards. In order to do so, however, these standards need to address the requirements of their intended users. Overthe past decade, medical informatics researchers have begun to articulate some of these requirements. This paper brings together some of the common themes which have been described, including: vocabulary content, concept orientation, concept permanence, nonsemantic concept identifiers, polyhierarchy, formal definitions, rejection of “not elsewhere classified” terms, multiple granularities, mUltiple consistent views, context representation, graceful evolution, and recognized redundancy. Standards developers are beginning to recognize and address these desiderata and adapt their offerings to meet them.
