This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/concept-map-relationship defines the following codes: codes in an undefined hierarchy:

Lvl Code Display Definition Copy
1 related-to Related To The concepts are related to each other, but the exact relationship is not known. btn   btn
2   equivalent Equivalent The definitions of the concepts mean the same thing. btn   btn
2   source-is-narrower-than-target Source Is Narrower Than Target The source concept is narrower in meaning than the target concept. btn   btn
2   source-is-broader-than-target Source Is Broader Than Target The source concept is broader in meaning than the target concept. btn   btn
1 not-related-to Not Related To This is an explicit assertion that the target concept is not related to the source concept. btn   btn

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. See Code System for further information.
Source The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding ). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
