The SNOMED CT® Canadian Edition package includes one (1) set of files for referencing the Canadian English (EN CA), Canadian French (CA FR), Canadian refsets, and the July 2020 version of SNOMED CT International. This publication format is provided as a convenient package to Canadian stakeholders to facilitate implementation if separate Canadian extension* files are not required. Package contents have been pre-computed and harmonized based on the module dependency when several extensions are merged. 

The package is a .zip file that includes text files in the RF2 format as per the SNOMED International specification. The CA Edition contains three (3) release types: full, delta and snapshot. Each type of release file includes refset files and terminology core files.

 

*  Canadian extension files are available upon request, and consist of separate modules and files that can be implemented individually: one for the EN CA content and the references sets, and one for the FR CA content.
