Purpose

...

id (field)

...

UUID (data type)

...

A 128 bit unsigned Integer (data type), uniquely identifying this .

Different versions of a reference set member share the same id (field) but have different effectiveTime (field). This allows a reference set member to be modified or made active (field) (i.e. removed from the active set) at a specified time.

...

effectiveTime (field)

...

Time (data type)

...

The inclusive date or time at which this version of the identified became the current version.

The current version of this at time T is the version with the most recent effectiveTime (field) prior to or equal to time T .

...

active (field)

...

Boolean (data type)

...

The state of the identified as at the specified effectiveTime (field) .

If active (field) = 1 (true) the is part of the current version of the set, if active (field) = 0 (false) the is not part of the current version of the set.

...

moduleId (field)

...

SCTID (data type)

...

Identifies the that contains this as at the specified effectiveTime (field) .

The value must be a of

SCTID (data type)

The identifier of the source of the association.

Each 
 Scg expression

900000000000522004|Historical association|
 holds of a different nature between the . The |Historical association| contains associations: 
  • from each to one or more other that are current in the in which the was inactivated; 
  • from each inactive for which there is a current replacement to the replacement ; 
  • from an to a that is current in the in which the was inactivated, and which is correctly described by the Term of the ; 
  • From each to one or more that replace it. 
The identified by the targetComponentId (field) must be an instance of the same class of as the identified by the referencedComponentIdfor all |Historical association| apart from the |REFERS TO association |. 
Within the |REFERS TO association |, the referenced ComponentId field must be a and the targetComponentIdmust be a . 
The targetComponentId (field) is used differently in the |MOVED TO association |. In this case, the targetComponentId (field) does not refer directly to a replacement , but rather to the namespace to which the was moved to. The targetComponentId (field) actually refers to the that represents the namespace. This approach is used since the organization sourcing the may not always be able to determine the precise reference that is applicable in the receiving organization (namespace). Thus the responsibility for these references lies with the new responsible (receiving) organization.
