This is two-fold. One issue is how to get (whatever source of) ICD data into 
the GNUmed database

The other is how to use the ICD data available in the GNUmed database.

Let's not worry too much about it.

Think of a table structure that is best for using the data inside GNUmed. The 
as a second step worry how to get it in there.

Two options

1) one importer per source

source --> importer --> GNUmed

2) one converter per source

source 1 | source 2 --> converter --> converted source --> importer --> GNUmed
