Logical Model: ANY: DataValue (V3 Data Type) ( Abstract )

Defines the basic properties of every data value. This is an abstract type, meaning that no value can be just a data value without belonging to any concrete type. Every concrete type is a specialization of this general abstract DataValue type.

Usages:

• Derived from this Logical Model: AD: PostalAddress (V3 Data Type), BL: Boolean (V3 Data Type), CD: ConceptDescriptor (V3 Data Type), CR: ConceptRole (V3 Data Type)... Show 9 more, ClinicalDocument (CDA Class), ED: EncapsulatedData (V3 Data Type), EN: EntityName (V3 Data Type), II: InstanceIdentifier (V3 Data Type), IVL_INT: Interval (V3 Data Type), InfrastructureRoot (Base Type for all CDA Classes), QTY: Quantity (V3 Data Type), ST: CharacterString (V3 Data Type) and TEL: TelecommunicationAddress (V3 Data Type)
