Abstract
The described implementations relate to expressing terminologies in a hierarchical form. One implementation can receive a terminology that can include concept-code pairs. For example, each of the concept-code pairs can include a concept and a code that is assigned to the concept by the terminology. The implementation can map the concepts to levels of a hierarchical ontology, and associate some of the concepts across different levels of the hierarchical ontology. The implementation can also provide programmatic access to the concept-code pairs of the terminology via the hierarchical ontology.
