Not sure whether each coding scheme needs to be regarded as an ontology/CV; given the multitude of variables covered, the service builds upon many existing classifications/ontologies. Many of these are available in various formats such as xml, json, markdown but I am not technically familiar with any of the formats mentioned here. There may be better sources than the ones I've found. |
