Documentation: A descriptor for a concept, usually through a code from a coding system. For complex domains, such as findings, diagnoses, the concept descriptor may contain translations into other coding systems or free text descriptions. This data type also supports post-coordinated (compositional) coding. Use of this data type is typically constrained, hiding some of the power and complexity of the concept descriptor. type ConceptDescriptor alias CD specializes ANY { ST code; ST displayName; UID codeSystem; ST codeSystemName; ST codeSystemVersion; ED originalText; LIST qualifier; SET translation; CS codingRationale; BL equal(ANY x); BL implies(CD x); demotion ED; };
