Re: [Gnumed-devel] Data pack for ICD-9 :-)

I have just rectified the failure to specify (in my ICD9 data pack) that the 
language is 'en'

Before uploading, shall I update it to understand the possibility of more than 
one entry where

        name_short = 'ICD-9'

for example, these same ICD-9 codes could exist in ref.data_source under some 
other language?

However I do not think

        ref.icd9

can have multiple values for the same code, therefore the question of 
resolution of term-language conflicts against the same code, within the same 
coding system in a single praxis database.

Whereas TALLman only changes the *case* of medication names, would a change of 
ICD9 terms to another language (while keeping the code the same) be 
(un)acceptable?
