Abstract
BACKGROUND: The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) has progressed from a short list of causes of death to become the predominant classification of human diseases, syndromes, and conditions around the world. The World Health Organization has now explored how the ICD could be revised to leverage the advances in computer science, ontology, and knowledge representation that had accelerated in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
