        <p> This operation returns the preferred identifiers for identifiers, and terminologies. The
           operation takes 2 parameters:</p> 

        <ul> 

          <li> a system identifier - either a URI, an OID, or a v2 table 0396 (other) code</li> 

          <li> a code for what kind of identifier is desired (URI, OID, v2 table 0396 identifier)</li> 

        </ul> 

        <p> and returns either the requested identifier, or an HTTP errors response with an OperationOutcome
           because either the provided identifier was not recognized, or the requested identiifer
           type is not known.</p> 

        <p> The principle use of this operation is when converting between v2, CDA and FHIR Identifier/CX/II
           and CodeableConcepts/C(N/W)E/CD but the operation may also find use when converting metadata
           such as profiles.</p>
