Implementation of a Terminology Server with SNOMED CT in Graph Databases.

This paper described the implementation of a terminology server performed at a health institution in Uruguay, whose architecture is based on SNOMED CT using graph databases (NoSQL). The aim of this development was to create an intuitive terminological service, making the most of SNOMED CT's ontology, and which can be used from a clinical, statistical, management, decision support and research point of view, among others, with good performance.
