A concept descriptor can contain the original text or phrase that served as the basis of the coding and one or more translations into different coding systems. A concept descriptor can also contain qualifiers to describe, e.g., the concept of a "left foot" as a postcoordinated term built from the primary code "FOOT" and the qualifier "LEFT". In cases of an exceptional value, the concept descriptor need not contain a code but only the original text describing that concept."/> <kind value="logical"/> <abstract value="false"/> <baseDefinition value="http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/ANY"/> <snapshot> <element> <path value="CD"/> <min value="1"/> <max value="*"/> <type> <code value="Element"/> </type> </element> <element> <path value="CD.nullFlavor"/> <representation value="xmlAttr"/> <label value="Exceptional Value Detail"/> <definition value="If a value is an exceptional value (NULL-value), this specifies in what way and why proper information is missing."/> <min value="0"/> <max value="1"/> <type> <code value="code"/> </type> <binding> <strength value="required"/> <valueSetReference> <reference value="http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/v3-NullFlavor"/> </valueSetReference> </binding> </element> <element> <path value="CD.code"/> <representation value="xmlAttr"/> <label value="Code"/> <definition value="The plain code symbol defined by the code system.
