Structured Data Types

Identifier - Composite Type

Definition: A character string used to identify a resource.
An identifier is a character string used to uniquely identify one instance of an object within an identification scheme that is managed by an agency.
The Identifier class is a critical aspect of the edci model. It is used to identify persons and organisations. In these cases and more, the identifier itself will be some sort of alpha-numeric string but that string only has meaning if it is contextualised.

Code - Composite Type

Definition: A term from a controlled vocabulary. (a code from a code list) Interoperability between data sets is increased dramatically when terms from controlled vocabularies are used in favour of free text. The conceptual Code data type is used wherever one or more controlled vocabularies are known to exist for a particular domain of interest. It is not the job of the JV/CV Vocabularies to mandate which controlled vocabularies are used but we offer some guidance on how to use them.
