Common Terminology Service Release 2

  • The CTS2 is a standard defined by HL7 and OMG and is available here.
  • The objective of CTS2 is to provide technical and functional specifications for the development of service interfaces based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) that allow the management, search and reading of terminological content, which can be defined both locally and internationally (standardized vocabularies).
  • The use of structured terminologies, made available thanks to this standard, makes it possible to fully support the management of semantics in the exchange of clinical information structured through independent organizations.
  • In a context of shared semantics, CTS2 provides a modular, common and universally implementable set of operations, which can then be used to manage a set of terminologies chosen by service users in their own distribution environment.
  • CTS2 provides the terminology community with a defined set of standard interfaces that can be used to evaluate the structure, source content and terminology tools.
