      <p>A concept descriptor represents any kind of concept usually by giving a code defined in a code system. A concept descriptor can contain the original text or phrase that served as the basis of the coding and one or more translations into different coding systems. A concept descriptor can also contain qualifiers to describe, e.g., the concept of a &quot;left foot&quot; as a postcoordinated term built from the primary code &quot;FOOT&quot; and the qualifier &quot;LEFT&quot;. In exceptional cases, the concept descriptor need not contain a code but only the original text describing that concept.</p>
