Context: Arden Syntax is a standard that encodes knowledge as Medical Logic Modules (MLMs) but lacks a standard query data model and terminology.

Objective: Assess to what extent SNOMED CT can represent MLM query data elements.

Method: 340 MLMs containing 3268 queries were examined.

Result: SNOMED can be used to represent all data elements except for clinical decision support system terms such as "alert."

Conclusion: SNOMED CT adequately represents data queried using the Arden Syntax.

We present a new methodological approach based on integrating Arden-Syntax-based clinical decision support (CDS) with an upstream ontology service. Incoming linguistic patient data, such as single reports about detected germs or viruses, shall be identified by the applied ontology at a low level. Then, higher-level concepts are activated by ontology-based bottom-up reasoning.
