The namespace identifier used in an extension's SCTIDs should NOT be used as the mechanism to determine which edition or extension a component belongs to. Instead, the moduleId attribute is used for this purpose. For more information, see 4.2 Modules. For example, although Concept |

| includes the namespace identifier "1000087" (allocated to Canada Health Infoway) and the partition identifier "10", this concept belongs to the Concept |
