Properties

This code system defines the following properties for its concepts

Code

URI

Type

Description

Specializes

Coding

The 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.

Generalizes

Coding

Inverse of Specializes. Only included as a derived relationship.

internalId

http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/utg-concept-properties#v3-internal-id

code

The internal identifier for the concept in the HL7 Access database repository.

status

http://hl7.org/fhir/concept-properties#status

code

Designation of a concept's state. Normally is not populated unless the state is retired.

Concepts

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

Code	Display	Definition	internalId	status
ADDR	Address	For attributes representing the location at which an organization, person, or item may be found or reached.	10046	active
CD	Code	For attributes representing some concept. Note that names of individual things are not considered concepts.	10047	active
COM	Communication Address	For attributes representing communication addresses, such as telephones, fax, pagers, e-mail, Web-sites and other devices and their respective protocols. See also PHON.	10048	active
DESC	Description	For attributes representing a statement used to describe something.	10049	active
DTTM	Date and Time	For attributes representing a point in time at which an event happened or will happen. Levels of precision and variation are part of this concept and should usually not be specified in separate attributes.	10050	active
EXPR	Formal Expression	For attributes representing formalized text that is to be evaluated primarily by computes. An attribute named "constraint\_text" is most likely such a formal expression and should be renamed to "constraint\_expr".	10051	active
FRC	Fraction	For attributes that represent a fraction or proportion. The former attribute type PCT for "percentage" is superceded by FRC and is no longer permitted. See also QTY.	10052	active
ID	Identifier	For attributes that serve to identify some instance of an information model class. Note that real world Identifiers (e.g., SSN) exist not as attributes but as an association to a special information model class. The attribute type "id" without a prefix is reserved to be the main instance identifier of the class.	10053	active
IND	Indicator	For attributes representing a specific condition as true or false.	10054	active
NBR	Number	For attributes representing dimensionless numbers. Note that there is a big conceptual difference between integer numbers and floating point numbers. See also QTY.	10055	active
NM	Name	For attributes that represent a name by which an instance of the class is known.	10056	active
PHON	Phone	For attributes representing telephone number of a telecommunication device. See also COM.	10057	active
QTY	Quantity	For attributes representing a quantity. The nature of the quantity must be further specified through the choice of data type and through additional constraints. For physical quantities (including elapsed time) the PQ data type must be used. For monetary amounts the MO data type must be used. Parallel unit attributes are not permitted in these cases. Counted objects are not physical quantities and the count nouns are not units of measure.	10058	active
TIME	General Timing	A range of time between a start and an end time having a duration. The range may be infinite or undefined on either side.	10060	active
TMR	Time Range	A range of time between a start and an end time having a duration. The range may be infinite or undefined on either side.	10059	active
TXT	Text	For attributes representing non-descriptive, non-naming text not targeted to human interpretation. Formal expressions evaluated by computers should use the EXPR attribute type instead.	10061	active
VALUE	Value	For an attribute (e.g., Observation.value) that represents a value whose data type is determined dynamically and is not predefined by the static class diagram.	10062	active
