Element : CD (XML Type: CD )


Package : datatypes

XML Type : CD

Comments : A concept descriptor represents any kind of concept usually by giving a code defined in a code system. A concept descriptor can contain the original text or phrase that served as the basis of the coding and one or more translations into different coding systems. A concept descriptor can also contain qualifiers to describe, e.g., the concept of a "left foot" as a postcoordinated term built from the primary code "FOOT" and the qualifier "LEFT". In exceptional cases, the concept descriptor need not contain a code but only the original text describing that concept.


Parent : ANY


Name Type cardinality Comment
originalText
Element : originalText 		ED 0...1 The text or phrase used as the basis for the coding.
qualifier
Element : qualifier 		CR 0...* Specifies additional codes that increase the specificity of the primary code.
translation
Element : translation 		CD 0...* A set of other concept descriptors that translate this concept descriptor into other code systems.

codeSystem
Attribute : codeSystem 		String 0...1 Specifies the code system that defines the code.
codeSystemName
Attribute : codeSystemName 		String 0...1 A common name of the coding system.
codeSystemVersion
Attribute : codeSystemVersion 		String 0...1 If applicable, a version descriptor defined specifically for the given code system.
displayName

            A concept descriptor represents any kind of concept usually

            In exceptional cases, the concept descriptor need not
