Every extension must contain at least one module, which is used to  organize the extension content. The dependencies that the extension modules have on other modules (including on the

Attributes

As previously mentioned, all reference sets use six common attributes. In addition to these, a

also includes a sourceEffectiveTime and targetEffectiveTime. The table below explains how each of these attributes is populated in a

AttributeData TypeUse in a Module Dependency Reference Set
idUUID

Can be generated using a standard UUID generator.

effectiveTimeTimeSpecifies the date on which this version of the reference set member was released.
activeBoolean

Indicates whether or not the reference set member is active at the given effectiveTime. This value is set to "1" for new reference set members.

moduleIdSCTID

Identifies the module to which this reference set member belongs to. In the

Concept
ShowPartsterm
t900000000000534007 |Module dependency reference set|
, this also represents the moduleId of the dependent module (which is the source of the dependency). The module dependencies are therefore always specified within the dependent module. This ensures that anyone who has access to an extension module can access the relevant dependencies.

t900000000000534007 |Module dependency reference set|
. All module dependencies are included in this common reference set.

referencedComponentIdSCTID

The referencedComponentId specifies the module that is the target of the dependency. The value of this attribute is the id of the module on which the source module (referred to by the moduleId attribute) is dependent.

sourceEffectiveTimeTime

Specifies the version of the dependent module (referred to by the moduleId attribute) for which the dependency applies. The snapshot view of the dependent module at the given sourceEffectiveTime represents the state of the terminology in which the dependency applies.

targetEffectiveTimeTimeSpecifies the version of the target module (referred to by the referencedComponentId attribute) on which the dependent module depends. The snapshot view of the target module at the given targetEffectiveTime represents the state of the terminology in which the dependency applies.
