Hi Georg, It is partly a matter of resources and partly a question of it actually being very hard to do, as you are generally faced with a number of choices and omissions in SNOMED CT - that's not a criticism, just a reality.
It is also a question of 'where's the value'? Querying for element names within an openEHR CDR does not generally rely on external reference terminologies like SNOMED so there has not been much drive to do this work from vendors, particularly as actual SNOMED CT adoption remains relatively low. Having said that, any input would be very welcome, and CKM is well set up to support the collaborative review of suggested bindings. Thee may be a bit of a push from the UK, which is intending to use SNOMED CT to drive FHIR Observation coding / profiling rather than LOINC, but the process does need folks with some experience and authority in terms of dtermining the correct bindings.
