RE: SenseLab note: some updates

Kei,

It's interesting that you bring up this notion.

Most of the vocabularies in healthcare tend to be pre-coordinated, e.g., ICD9,
CPT4.
However there some compositional terminologies such as RxNorm and LOINC which
has an underlying 
model with 6 axes. Snomed tries to be a post-coordinated terminology, but in
reality it is partially
pre-coordinated and partially post-coordinated.

Cheers,
