SpecializesCodingThe child code is a more narrow version of the concept represented by the parent code. I.e. Every child concept is also a valid parent concept. Used to allow determination of subsumption. Must be transitive, irreflexive, antisymmetric.
GeneralizesCodingInverse of Specializes. Only included as a derived relationship.
internalIdhttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/utg-concept-properties#v3-internal-idcodeThe internal identifier for the concept in the HL7 Access database repository.
Name:Classhttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/utg-concept-properties#rim-ClasscodeThe formal name for the class clone under this code
appliesTohttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/utg-concept-properties#v3-applies-tostringHaven't a clue!
statushttp://hl7.org/fhir/concept-properties#statuscodeDesignation of a concept's state. Normally is not populated unless the state is retired.

This code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-EntityClass defines the following codes:
