A name for a person. A sequence of name parts, such as given name or family name, prefix, suffix, etc. Examples for person name values are "Jim Bob Walton, Jr.", "Adam Everyman", etc. A person name may be as simple as a character string or may consist of several person name parts, such as, "Jim", "Bob", "Walton", and "Jr.". PN differs from EN because the qualifier type cannot include LS (Legal Status).

If a value is an exceptional value (NULL-value), this specifies in what way and why proper information is missing.

A set of codes advising a system or user which name in a set of like names to select for a given purpose. A name without specific use code might be a default name useful for any purpose, but a name with a specific use code would be preferred for that respective purpose

MAY contain zero or one [0..1] @use, which SHALL be selected from ValueSet EntityNameUse urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113883.1.11.15913 STATIC 2005-05-01 (CONF:81-7154).

SHALL contain exactly one [1..1] family (CONF:81-7159).

If a value is an exceptional value (NULL-value), this specifies in what way and why proper information is missing.

For character-based encoding types, this property specifies the character set and character encoding used. The charset shall be identified by an Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Charset Registration [] in accordance with RFC 2978 [].

Indicates whether the raw byte data is compressed, and what compression algorithm was used.

The integrity check is a short binary value representing a cryptographically strong checksum that is calculated over the binary data. The purpose of this property, when communicated with a reference is for anyone to validate later whether the reference still resolved to the same data that the reference resolved to when the encapsulated data value with reference was created.

Specifies the algorithm used to compute the integrityCheck value. The cryptographically strong checksum algorithm Secure Hash Algorithm-1 (SHA-1) is currently the industry standard. It has superseded the MD5 algorithm only a couple of years ago, when certain flaws in the security of MD5 were discovered. Currently the SHA-1 hash algorithm is the default choice for the integrity check algorithm. Note that SHA-256 is also entering widespread usage.

For character based information the language property specifies the human language of the text.

Identifies the type of the encapsulated data and identifies a method to interpret or render the data.

The string value

A telecommunication address (TEL), such as a URL for HTTP or FTP, which will resolve to precisely the same binary data that could as well have been provided as inline data.

An abbreviated rendition of the full data. A thumbnail requires significantly fewer resources than the full data, while still maintaining some distinctive similarity with the full data. A thumbnail is typically used with by-reference encapsulated data. It allows a user to select data more efficiently before actually downloading through the reference.

Indicates whether the name part is a given name, family name, prefix, suffix, etc.

qualifier is a set of codes each of which specifies a certain subcategory of the name part in addition to the main name part type. For example, a given name may be flagged as a nickname, a family name may be a pseudonym or a name of public records.

This family MAY contain zero or one [0..1] @qualifier, which SHALL be selected from ValueSet EntityPersonNamePartQualifier urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113883.11.20.9.26 STATIC 2011-09-30 (CONF:81-7160).
