A curated namespace that issues unique symbols within that namespace for the identification of concepts, people, devices, etc. Represents a "System" used within the Identifier and Coding data types.

The descriptive name of this particular identifier type or code system.

The"symbolic name" for an OID would be captured as an extension.

Indicates whether the naming system is "ready for use" or not.

Indicates the purpose for the namingsystem naming system - what kinds of things does it make unique?

The descriptive name of this particular identifier type the individual or code organization that published the naming system.

The"symbolic name" Helps establish the "authority/credibility" of the naming system. May also allow for contact.

Usually an OID would organization, but may be captured as an extension. individual. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context.

Contacts to assist a user in finding and communicating with the publisher.

May be a web site, an email address, a telephone number (tel:), etc.

The date (and optionally time) when name of an individual to contact regarding the system was registered or published. naming system.

If there is no named individual, the telecom is for the organization as a whole.

Indicates whether the namingsystem is "ready Contact details for use" individual (if a name was provided) or not. the publisher.

The name of a Value Set the organization that is responsible for issuing identifiers or Concept Map) codes for this namespace and ensuring their non-collision.

This is the primary organization. Responsibility for some aspects of a namespace may be delegated.

If present, indicates that The date (and optionally time) when the identifier or code system is principally intended for use was registered or applies to entities within published. The date must change when the specified country. For example, business version changes, if it does, and it must change if the country associated with a national status code system. changes. In addition, it should change when the substantive content of the registration changes.

Additional specific dates may be added as extensions.

Categorizes a namingsystem naming system for easier search by grouping related namingsystems. naming systems.

This will most commonly be used for identifier namespaces, but categories could potentially be useful for code systems and authorities as well.

The name of Details about what the organization that is responsible for issuing identifiers or codes for this namespace and ensuring their non-collision. identifies including scope, granularity, version labeling, etc.

This is the primary organization. Responsibility for some aspects of The content was developed with a namespace focus and intent of supporting the contexts that are listed. These terms may be delegated. used to assist with indexing and searching of naming systems.

Assist in searching for appropriate content.

Provides guidance on the use of the namespace, including the handling of formatting characters, use of upper vs. lower case, etc.

Indicates how the system may be identified when referenced in electronic exchange.

Multiple identifiers may exist, either due to duplicate registration, regional rules, needs of different communication technologies, etc.

Identifies the unique identifier scheme used for this particular identifier.

Different identifier types may be used in different types of communications (OIDs for v3, URIs for FHIR, etc.). Other includes RUIDs from v3, standard v2 code name strings, etc.

The string that should be sent over the wire to identify the code system or identifier system.

If the value is a URI intended for use as FHIR system identifier, the URI should not contain "\" or "?" or "," since this makes escaping very difficult.

Indicates whether this identifier is the "preferred" identifier of this type.

Identifies the period of time over which this identifier is considered appropriate to refer to the namingsystem. naming system. Outside of this window, the identifier might be non-deterministic.

Within a registry, a given identifier should only be "active" for a single namespace at a time. (Ideally, an identifier should only ever be associated with a single namespace across all time).

For namingsystems naming systems that are retired, indicates the namingsystem naming system that should be used in their place (if any).
