New version of CIEL dictionary has been added to dropbox and on Open Concept Lab for April 28, 2026!
CIEL has been designated a Digital Global Good by Digital Square!! This is added to its Digital Public Good designation from the DPGA! https://www.globalgoodsguidebook.org/global-goods/ciel
Just wanted to let folks know that I am posting a new version of the CIEL concept dictionary in the dropbox with versions including 1.11.6, 2.0.1, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4.5 and 2.5.5. Note that I will no longer be releasing in versions prior to 1.11! As we continue our transition to OCL as the primary management and distribution system for CIEL, we may need to stop supporting older versions of the concept tables. If you are on pre-2.x platform and are using any content from CIEL via these zip files, please reach out to me directly ASAP.
Can I please remind everyone using the CIEL dictionary that this is a trust model. We are providing the service to the community and the community assists by providing concepts they require back to CIEL. This also includes translation of CIEL concepts into other languages. If you have added concepts to your dictionary and have not reported them back to CIEL, I strongly encourage you to do so (if guilt doesn’t work, then I will start to harass you :).
Be sure to read the wiki: om.rs/getciel
NOTE THAT THE DISTRIBUTION METHODOLOGY FOR CIEL USING THE OPEN CONCEPT LAB IS THE PREFERRED DISTRIBUTION MEDIUM FOR CIEL.
Each version includes the global property ciel.conceptsVersion which contains the date of the release in YYYYMMDD format. A new global property update was added for 1.11+ which will force recreation of the word index as this is no longer included as part of the CIEL upload.
This release added some new concepts for drugs, procedures, food insecurity scoring and new drug form groups which will be used for mapping between drugs and allowable routes of administration (the actually mapping was not part of this release, but will be available in the next release). Contributing your concept prevalence data to the study will help fill gaps to CIEL and maps to ICD-11, so please see: Concept Prevalence Study FAQ - Google Docs
The drug table was not updated for this release. We are working on getting a new version of the drug table out, but if you are interested, reach out to me separately.
