Description: Coded concepts representing Binding Realms (used for Context Binding of terminology in HL7 models) and/or Namespace Realms (used to help ensure unique identification of HL7 artifacts). This code system is partitioned into three sections: Affiliate realms, Binding realms and Namespace realms. All affiliate realm codes may automatically be used as both binding realms and namespace realms. Furthermore, affiliate realms are the only realms that have authority over the creation of binding realms. (Note that 'affiliate' includes the idea of both international affiliates and the HL7 International organization.) All other codes must be associated with an owning affiliate realm and must appear as a specialization of _BindingRealm or _NamespaceRealm. For affiliates whose concepts align with nations, the country codes from ISO 3166-1 2-character alpha are used for the code when possible so these codes should not be used for other realm types. It is recommended that binding realm and namespace codes submitted by affiliates use the realm code as a prefix to avoid possible collisions with ISO codes. However, tooling does not currently support namepace realm codes greater than 2 characters. Open Issue: The name of the concept property "owningAffiliate" should be changed to better reflect that the property value is the human readable name of the organizational entity that manages the Realm identified by the Realm Code. Open Issue: In spite of the inability of tooling to process codes longer than 2 characters, there is at least one realm codes ('SOA') that was added that is 3 characters in length.

                This includes both the HL7 International organization as well as all recognized international
               affiliates (past and present).  These groups have the ability to bind vocabulary and develop
               artifacts.  As well, they have the ability to have &quot;ownership&quot; over other binding
               realms and namespace realms via the owningAffiliate property of those other realm codes.

  <description value="  Description:
Coded concepts representing Binding Realms (used for Context Binding of terminology in
     HL7 models)  and/or Namespace Realms (used to help ensure unique identification of HL7
     artifacts). This code system is partitioned into three sections: Affiliate realms, Binding
     realms and Namespace realms.  All affiliate realm codes may automatically be used as both
     binding realms and namespace realms.  Furthermore, affiliate realms are the only realms
     that have authority over the creation of binding realms.  (Note that 'affiliate' includes
     the idea of both international affiliates and the HL7 International organization.)  All
     other codes must be associated with an owning affiliate realm and must appear as a specialization
     of _BindingRealm or _NamespaceRealm.  For affiliates whose concepts align with nations,
     the country codes from ISO 3166-1 2-character alpha are used for the code when possible
     so these codes should not be used for other realm types.  It is recommended that binding
     realm and namespace codes submitted by affiliates use the realm code as a prefix to avoid
     possible collisions with ISO codes.  However, tooling does not currently support namepace
     realm codes greater than 2 characters.  Open Issue:
The name of the concept property &quot;owningAffiliate&quot; should be changed to better
     reflect that the property value is the human readable name of the organizational entity
     that manages the Realm identified by the Realm Code.  Open Issue:
In spite of the inability of tooling to process codes longer than 2 characters, there
     is at least one realm codes ('SOA') that was added that is 3 characters in length."/>
