Continuing the discussion from [Bahmni and the CIEL dictionary](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/bahmni-and-the-ciel-dictionary/14305/6):

Here is a concept set that we use in the endTB version of Bahmni. I’m not asking for this to be added to CIEL as-is, but I’d like to know how @akanter wants to approach adding parts of this to CIEL (or if we should be managing all these concepts externally via OCL). /cc @mogoodrich, @pramidat

I think this is a good set, but I am wondering why it is specific to bacteriology as any test requiring a sample could have this information. I would try to align concepts around specimen and specimen source to be similar to what we do for HL7… that there is a specimen type (urine, fluid, tissue) and a source location (anatomical site). Does the set of sets work where “additional attributes” is another partially defined set? Could there be more of a generic results set and then add a few bacteriology concepts as a modular set? Then you could simply append or replace that set with other sets for different tests (pathology, chemistries, etc.)?
