Country Vocabulary guidance needs updating
Currently, the country_concept_id guidance for CDM v5.4 points us to standard concept_ids WHERE domain_id = 'Geography'. However, it should point us to WHERE standard_concept = 'S' AND vocabulary_id = 'OSM' AND concept_level = '2nd level'. It's the 2nd level of the OSM vocabulary which contain the country data. Other levels of the OSM vocabulary might match on concept_name, but don't have the same meaning (town or county instead of a country).
Tagging @cgreich to ensure this guidance is correct since it is not stated anywhere
So, there is talk about adding SNOMED concepts to the Geography domain. If that happens, then we should give the above guidance AND say there are also acceptable concepts with domain_id = 'Geography' and vocabulary_id = 'SNOMED'.
