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.

When valued in an instance, this attribute signals the imposition of realm-specific constraints. The value of this attribute identifies the realm in question

When valued in an instance, this attribute signals the imposition of constraints defined in an HL7-specified message type. This might be a common type (also known as CMET in the messaging communication environment), or content included within a wrapper. The value of this attribute provides a unique identifier for the type in question.

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

A human readable name or mnemonic for the assigning authority. The Assigning Authority Name has no computational value. The purpose of a Assigning Authority Name is to assist an unaided human interpreter of an II value to interpret the authority.

This observation is of clinical status, as indicated by the <code> element. This element must be present.

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

Specifies the code system that defines the code.

The common name of the coding system.

If applicable, a version descriptor defined specifically for the given code system.

A name or title for the code, under which the sending system shows the code value to its users.

The valueSet extension adds an attribute for elements with a CD dataType which indicates the particular value set constraining the coded concept.

The valueSetVersion extension adds an attribute for elements with a CD dataType which indicates the version of the particular value set constraining the coded concept.

The text or phrase used as the basis for the coding.

Specifies additional codes that increase the specificity of the the primary code.

A set of other concept descriptors that translate this concept descriptor into other code systems.

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

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.

Data that is primarily intended for human interpretation or for further machine processing is outside the scope of HL7. This includes unformatted or formatted written language, multimedia data, or structured information as defined by a different standard (e.g., XML-signatures.)

This element is represented in XML as textual content. The actual name "xmlText" will not appear in a CDA instance.

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.

The code attribute of <statusCode> for all clinical status observations shall be completed. While the <statusCode> element is required in all acts to record the status of the act, the only sensible value of this element in this context is completed.
