The Ordered Reference Set pattern is now deprecated as it has been replaced with two reference set types each of which is specific to one of the two distinct use cases supported by the Ordered Reference set pattern.

The recommended Reference sets to address the purposes identified below are now:

• 4.2.2. Ordered Component Reference Set
  • This allows an ordered or prioritized list of components to be represented.
  • It omits the linkedToId field in the pattern shown below as this is not required to address this use case.
• 4.2.6. Ordered Association Type Reference Set
  
  • This enables representation of alternative navigation hierarchies (in which child concepts are ordered) and also also supports representation of groups of ordered components.
  • The linkedToId field in the pattern shown below is replaced by the targetComponentId (this name is used to align with the 4.2.5. Association Reference Set (used from unordered associations).

Deprecation does not prevent continued use of an existing reference set pattern. However it does indicate that a different solution is now specified and recommended to meet the requirements for this pattern
