Properties

This code system defines the following properties for its concepts

NameCodeURITypeDescription
Specializes 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 Generalizes Coding Inverse of Specializes. Only included as a derived relationship.
internalId 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 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 case-sensitive code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-MDFAttributeType defines the following codes in a Is-A hierarchy:

CodeDisplayDefinitioninternalIdStatus
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 The former attribute type PCT for "percentage" is superceded by FRC and is no longer permitted.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
