Editing MRCM

Concept Model Editor

The Machine Readable Concept Model (MRCM) Editor allows viewing and maintaining the concept model. To open the editor, click the Open MRCM editor... button in the main toolbar.

The nodes on the left side of the editor display the constraints. Details of a selected node can be reviewed or edited on the right side.

Example

The example in the screenshot below shows a constraint for concepts in the hierarchy of Clinical findings. All Clinical findings have the attribute Associated with. The range for the values of this relationship is specified below (e.g. Clinical findings, procedures).

MRCM Editor

When opening a Clinical finding, an Associated with relationship will be displayed as a property type. When defining the property value, the quick assist will only display concepts that are within the range defined in the concept model.

The constraint model editor is intended as developer tooling, rather than an end-user feature. Nevertheless, we have found it valuable to view the imported MRCM constraints to clarify unintended behaviors.
