FYI: response from Dan Vreeman on Clinical LOINC hierarchy.

For anyone else who is interested, let me know as we will be talking about

The multi-axial hierarchy isn't entirely lab, but it certainly does not contain 
all of the clinical parts. The radiology report section and document ontology 
portion are flushed out pretty well. We don't have an all-encompassing 
hierarchy that contains every term. You might use the "flat" class groupings as 
a first order categorization for the other clinical measurements.

Where do I find the set of LOINC Parts used as metadata for the Class Hierarchy 
for Clinical LOINC?

Hi Jim -

The hierarchy that we distribute as part of each release is called the 
Multi-axial hierarchy. You can download it from the main LOINC download page. 
Just look for it under the heading "Accessory Files":

https://loinc.org/downloads

For lab tests, this is the hierarchy that organizes first by Component 
(analyte), and then by specimen (system).

I am trying to locate the data for the hierarchy builds and the mapping and 
definition of LOINC parts in the release data.  Can you please tell me where I 
can find that so that I can deploy a hierarchy build for our installation of 
i2b2?
