I found a definition of Snomed CT Compositionla Grammar in 'Compositional Grammar for SNOMED CT Expressions in HL7 Version 3' (2008). 'a technical specification of a grammar for composing SNOMED CT expressions that can be carried in HL7 version 3 messages, in the Concept Descriptor (CD) data type.

The definition for CIMI could be:

'a technical specification of a grammar for composing Snomed CT expressions that can be carried in a clinical information model, in the Concept Descriptor (CD) data type.
