This guidance applies to new content or specific content undergoing revision as part of an approved project. There are therefore many terms in the existing content (LEGACY CONTENT) that do not comply with this guidance. The process of correcting existing content will be carried out as time and resources permit and as per an approved project. 

The Editorial Guide provides the information necessary to model terms in SNOMED CT.  It is for those who edit content in the International Release, but it may also be useful to those creating extensions. It is a working document, subject to change and revision.

SNOMED CT is distributed in sets of electronic files. Supporting software tools are not necessarily provided directly by SNOMED International.

The Editorial Guide publishes only the rules that apply to precoordinated content. That is, the rules where the 'Content Type' is one of the following - |All SNOMED CT content|, |All precoordinated SNOMED CT content|, or |All new precoordinated SNOMED CT content|. The rules that are not published in the Editorial Guide are the ones that apply only to |All postcoordinated content|.  See the different content types and rules in the MRCM maintenance tool at https://browser.ihtsdotools.org/mrcm.
