1. A method of encoding a characteristic of a biological sample, the method comprising:
- identifying a collection of more than one codes of a standard coding scheme, different codes corresponding to different concepts of the standard coding scheme;
forming a pre-coordinated code from a concatenation of the more than one codes, the pre-coordinated code not being found in the standard coding scheme; and
storing the pre-coordinated code along with other pre-coordinated codes.

Abstract
In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a method of encoding a characteristic of a sample. The method includes identifying a collection of more than one codes of a standard coding scheme where different codes correspond to different standard coding scheme concepts. The method forms a pre-coordinated code not found in the standard coding scheme from a concatenation of the codes. The method also stores the pre-coordinated code along with other pre-coordinated codes.

18. A computer program product, disposed on a computer readable medium, for encoding a characteristic of a biological sample, the computer program including instructions for causing a processor to:
-
identify a collection of more than one codes of a standard coding scheme, different codes corresponding to different concepts of the standard coding scheme;
form a pre-coordinated code from a concatenation of the more than one codes, the pre-coordinated code not being found in the standard coding scheme; and
