Claim 17:
18. One or more computer-readable media storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors in a computing device cause the computing device to:
obtain mappings between ICD (International Classification of Disease) codebases and a Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terminology (SNOMED CT) ontology that is represented as a directed acyclic graph (DAG), and using the mappings to map International Classification of Disease, Revision 9 (ICD-9) codes and International Classification of Disease, Revision 10 (ICD-10) codes to SNOMED CT concepts on the DAG;
identify one or more of the ICD-9 codes and ICD-10 codes unpaired with a shared SNOMED CT concept on the DAG;
identify, for each of the unpaired ICD-9 codes and ICD-10 codes, a common SNOMED CT concept on the DAG;
determine, for each of the identified one or more unpaired ICD-9 codes and ICD-10 codes having a common SNOMED CT concept, a semantic similarity of clinical descriptions therebetween; and
pair one or more of the identified unpaired ICD-9 code codes and one or more of the identified unpaired ICD-10 codes based on their respective common SNOMED CT concept and their respective semantic similarity.
