Clinia's Terminology Module enables the creation and management of highly specific Vocabularies. These Vocabularies serve as structured repositories for storing and organizing lists of Concepts tailored to a particular domain or application.

Creating a Vocabulary

To create a vocabulary, you only need to provide three key pieces of information: the mandatory vocabulary-key (specified via URL parameters) title and description.

{
    "title": "<title>",
    "description": "<description>"
}

Defining a new spoken-languages vocabulary would look like:

{
    "title": "Spoken Languages",
    "description": "Define all the system-allowed spoken languages for the stored Providers"
}

• Upsert a selected Vocabulary
• Delete a Vocabulary
• Bulk actions on the Vocabularies

Key Characteristics of a Vocabulary

• Domain-Specific:
  The vocabulary should be tailored to the specific fields or systems being documented. An example of those could be UI translatable enumerable used in the Data Sources.
• Standardized Language:
  Ensures your vocabulary uses consistent designations for each term and its translations.
• Cross-Referencing:
  Vocabularies can be referred to in Field Validation, to allow for fields to be validated against all contained Concepts.
