Each data model contains a number of catalogue elements such as data classes and data elements, Some of these have corresponding elements in other data models.

For example, the data model LONDONPATHOLOGYCODES has a data element with code 'LDPC-2008' and name 'C-Reactive Protein Serum'. This has corresponding elements in the 'Rare Diseases' and 'WinPath' models as follows:

Data ModelElement TypeCodeName

Rare DiseasesData Element35254C reactive protein result

WinPathData ElementCRPC Reactive Protein
WinPathData ElementCRPC-Reactive Protein Serum

To see these in the Model Catalogue, log into the North Thames demo site (https://ntdemo.metadata.org.uk/#/ or similar, use username/password supervisor/supervisor).
