Abstract
The lack of a unified medical language is blamed for the inability of computers to handle medical information effectively. As a solution to at least one of the problems embodied in this lack, the ASTM Subcommittee E31.12 on Medical Informatics has constructed an infrastructure detailing nosologic standards and guides for a biomedical nomenclature that lends itself to computer usage. The thrust of this effort and the principles guiding it are discussed
