Hi Philippe It seems like you are making a big deal of that SNOMED CT is an ancient product, but I would like to see your explicit arguments about that instead of only negative generalizations. From my point of view it is quite modern with an OWL based ontology with additional features for terminology and versioning, which basically is what SNOMED CT are.

Bert, I get your point and I can perfectly understand that if Snomed can get used to do what you need done, you are plainly entitled to use it, even if "not perfect". But the issue could be stated differently: we are living a very specific moment since, at the same time, we become part of a genuine information society AND are engaged in a turn from acute to chronic care. It means that we should all be trashing the "good old systems" and dedicate ourselves to building risk management systems that allow multidisciplinary teams to manage patients' health journeys over time. Do you think that HL7 and Snomed are the proper components for this kind of innovation or that they are stuck in the ancient world? Do you think that using endemic technologies (components that only exist in the medical domain) can be of any use when it comes to health... that's to say operating in person's "bio-psycho-social bubble", a place where education, employment, social issues are as important as medical information, and are all plain contributors to risk management? It is not about "good" versus "perfect", but about having a whole domain (and its practitioners) get stuck in a dead arm of the information society.
