             actual value is not known. If the only thing that is unknown is how to properly express
             the value in the necessary constraints (value set, datatype, etc.), then the OTH or UNC
             flavor should be used. No properties should be included for a datatype with this property
             unless:  Those properties themselves directly translate to a semantic of &quot;unknown&quot;.
             (E.g. a local code sent as a translation that conveys 'unknown') Those properties further
             qualify the nature of what is unknown. (E.g. specifying a use code of &quot;H&quot; and
             a URL prefix of &quot;tel:&quot; to convey that it is the home phone number that is unknown.)
