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.

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

A property that indicates the status of the concept. One of active, experimental, deprecated, or retired.

deprecationDate

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

dateTime

Concepts

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

Lvl	Code	Display	Definition	Deprecated	internalId	status	deprecationDate	Name:Class
1	INSTANCE	specific	Description:A determiner that specifies that the Entity object represents a particular physical thing (as opposed to a universal, kind, or class of physical thing). Discussion: It does not matter whether an INSTANCE still exists as a whole at the point in time (or process) when we mention it, for example, a drug product lot is an INSTANCE even though it has been portioned out for retail purpose.		10881	active
2	GROUP	specific group	A determiner that specifies that the Entity object represents a particular collection of physical things (as opposed to a universal, kind, or class of physical thing). While the collection may resolve to having only a single individual (or even no individuals), the potential should exist for it to cover multiple individuals.		23599	active
1	KIND	described	Description:A determiner that specifies that the Entity object represents a universal, kind or class of physical thing (as opposed to a particular thing).		10879	active		Kind
2	GROUPKIND	described group	A determiner that specifies that the Entity object represents a universal, kind or class of collections physical things. While the collection may resolve to having only a single individual (or even no individuals), the potential should exist for it to cover multiple individuals.		23600	active
2	QUANTIFIED_KIND	described quantified	The described quantified determiner indicates that the given Entity is taken as a general description of a specific amount of a thing. For example, QUANTIFIED\_KIND of syringe (quantity = 3,) stands for exactly three syringes.	Deprecated	10880	deprecated	2008-11-14
