ISO 11179 Data Element Profile (Profile)

Scope and Usage

This profile defines extensions that may be useful in exposing data elements from ISO 11179-conformant registries. The list of extensions is not currently complete - additional extensions would be required to support all required and optional 11179 elements. The set of define extensions will increase over time based on implementer interest. At some point, a full profile for 11179-conformant systems may be developed.

The list of defined extensions is as follows:

Extensions:
11179-de-effective-periodWhen data element is "valid" :

Identifies the date on which the element became (or is expected to become) active and the date on which the element became (or is expected to become) retired.

11179-de-is-data-element-conceptIs code the DEC for the data element? :

If true, indicates that the specified coding corresponds to the data element concept for the data element.
