The classifier infers all appropriate proximal supertypes. With sufficiently defined concepts the subtypes are also inferred.  

For example,

• • The
stated view of

Concept
t 702499000 |Computed tomography of humerus (procedure)|

. The PP
• • proximal primitive supertype for this concept is

    Concept
    t 71388002 |Procedure (procedure)|

    . It has been modeled with one stated supertype and two attribute value pairs in a relationship group.

The inferred view shows the logical definition of the concept. By using the stated relationships (for this concept and other concepts currently in the terminology), the classifier infers three defined proximal supertypes:

• • Radiography of humerus (procedure)
  • Computed tomography of upper arm (procedure)
  • Computed tomography of bone (procedure)
