      <p>The primary focus of the curator is the definition and maintenance of 
        <a href="dataelement.html">DataElement</a>s.  However, 
        <a href="valueset.html">ValueSet</a>s must also be supported to allow definition of coded data elements.  Some data elements
         will choose to maintain value sets as 'contained' resources, meaning the value set exists
         only in the context of the data element and cannot be referenced or maintained without
         also updating the data element.  However, systems should support value set re-use across
         data elements.  (Version-specific referencing can be used to avoid value sets from changing
         independent of the referencing
