Abstract
The author presents the complex scientific and technical foundation of the recently completed biomedical nomenclature. This nomenclature places all the terms into a single hierarchical order. Computer-compatibility is achieved by the numeric representation of the location (“address”) of the term on the hierarchical tree. These unique numeric representations serve as codes, making the system language-independent, with potential for usage in various languages, and rendering medical terminology computer-compatible.Keywords
