Re: [UC] Bio-medical Image Use Case

Hi Raphaël,

    Thanks very much for your comments.  I will update the use case with 
links.  And indeed as you say, SNOMED is not the only thesaurus out 
there.  A good extension of the use case would be to see whether it is 
possible to integrate across the various thesauri as well. It needs to 
be investigated to see whether that is even feasible.
