| Code | Display | Definition |
| publication |
Publication |
A WHO normative publication: a guideline, guidance, recommendation summary, or classification. Metadata follows Dublin Core, which HealthInterventions already uses. |
| publication-section |
Publication section |
A chapter, annex or numbered section. Recommendations are located by section and page, which is what makes an extraction checkable. |
| recommendation |
Recommendation |
The atomic normative statement. This is the node nothing in the WHO estate currently makes addressable. |
| remark |
Remark |
An implementation consideration attached to a recommendation. Grounded: the BCG table's first annotationEntry carries exactly this — "Neonates born to women of unknown HIV status should be vaccinated as the benefits…" — clinical nuance that shapes the decision logic but is not the recommendation itself. |
| evidence |
Evidence |
The body of evidence behind a recommendation, with its GRADE certainty rating. |
| population |
Population |
PICO P. |
| intervention |
Intervention |
PICO I. The clinical or public-health action, distinct from health-intervention, which is the DAK-facing component. |
| comparator |
Comparator |
PICO C. Frequently absent in WHO recommendations; absence is recorded rather than invented. |
| outcome |
Outcome |
PICO O. |
| health-intervention |
Health intervention |
What a recommendation is about, and the hinge to L2. Corresponds to the DAK component smart-base defines as HealthInterventions — today `id`, `description[x]` and `reference 1..* DublinCore`, i.e. a bibliographic citation with no recommendation behind it. This class is what that citation should resolve to. |
| schedule |
Schedule |
A normative delivery schedule. Grounded: the BCG table cites "WHO recommendations for routine immunization – summary tables", which IS a schedule publication — the single most-cited L1 source in the immunization DAK. |
| schedule-entry |
Schedule entry |
One row of a schedule: which intervention, for whom, when, how many doses. This is the granularity a decision table actually consumes — the BCG rules turn on dose count, age and interval since a live vaccine. |
| indicator |
Indicator |
A programme indicator defined normatively at L1. Distinct from the DAK's ProgramIndicator component, which is its L2 expression; that model already carries `references 0..* id` pointing at health intervention ids. |
| terminology-code |
Terminology code |
A code in an external terminology — ICD-10, ICD-11, SNOMED CT, ATC, or a WHO classification such as CDHI. CROSS-REFERENCE ONLY. It records system, code and display, and asserts NOTHING about the terminology: no hierarchy, no subsumption, no synonyms, no post-coordination. The terminology has its own authority, its own release cycle and its own tooling, and a partial copy here would be wrong within one release. Resolve meaning against the terminology server, not against this graph. |
| citation |
Citation |
A citation string exactly as it appears in an L2 or L3 artefact, together with what it was resolved to. Grounded directly in the BCG table, where every rule's annotationEntry[1] reads "WHO recommendations for routine immunization – summary tables (March 2023) (1)" — a citation that no tool can currently follow. This class is where that string becomes a link, and where the fact that resolving it was a judgement gets recorded. |
| external-artifact |
External artefact |
An L2 or L3 artefact addressed by canonical URL — a BPMN process, a DMN decision table, a FHIR PlanDefinition. Deliberately opaque: it carries an IRI and a free-text kind, and this graph asserts nothing about its internal structure. That opacity is the boundary. The L2 and L3 subgraphs model those artefacts properly; L1 only needs to point. |
