               has been in use in hospitals in the United States since its inception in 1959. An integral
               part of the American Hospital Formulary Service, the AHFS classification allows the grouping
               of drugs with similar pharmacologic, therapeutic, and/or chemical characteristics. Today,
               the AHFS classification is used by many people outside of hospitals.

               in the translation set need to be distinguished among the originally captured source,

               through the use of codes in messages and determine other Use Cases requiring special interpretation
               of the translations.

                        In the United States, federal standards for classifying data on
               ethnicity determine the categories used by federal agencies and exert a strong influence
               on categorization by state and local agencies and private sector organizations. The federal
               standards do not conceptually define ethnicity, and they recognize the absence of an anthropological
               or scientific basis for ethnicity classification.  Instead, the federal standards acknowledge
               that ethnicity is a social-political construct in which an individual's own identification
               with a particular ethnicity is preferred to observer identification.  The standards specify
               two minimum ethnicity categories: Hispanic or Latino, and Not Hispanic or Latino.  The
               standards define a Hispanic or Latino as a person of &quot;Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban,
               South or Central America, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.&quot;
               The standards stipulate that ethnicity data need not be limited to the two minimum categories,
               but any expansion must be collapsible to those categories.  In addition, the standards
               stipulate that an individual can be Hispanic or Latino or can be Not Hispanic or Latino,
               but cannot be both.

                        ISO/IEC 21000-6:2004 describes a Rights Data Dictionary which
               comprises a set of clear, consistent, structured, integrated and uniquely identified terms
               to support the MPEG-21 Rights Expression Language (REL), ISO/IEC 21000-5. Annex A specifies
               the methodology for and structure of the RDD Dictionary, and specifies how further Terms
               may be defined under the governance of a Registration Authority, requirements for which
               are described in Annex C.
            <br/>

                        Taken together, these specifications and the RDD Dictionary and
               Database make up the RDD System. Use of the RDD System will facilitate the accurate exchange
               and processing of information between interested parties involved in the administration
               of rights in, and use of, Digital Items, and in particular it is intended to support ISO/IEC
               21000-5 (REL). Clause 6 describes how ISO/IEC 21000-6:2004 relates to ISO/IEC 21000-5.
            <br/>

                        As well as providing definitions of terms for use in ISO/IEC 21000-5,
               the RDD System is designed to support the mapping of terms from different namespaces.
               Such mapping will enable the transformation of metadata from the terminology of one namespace
               (or Authority) into that of another namespace. Mapping, to ensure minimum ambiguity or
               loss of semantic integrity, will be the responsibility of the Registration Authority.
               Provision of automated trm look-up is also a requirement.
            <br/>

                        The RDD Dictionary is a prescriptive dctionary, in the sense that
               it defines a single meaning for a trm represented by a particular RddAuthorized TermName,
               but it is also inclusive in that it can recognize the prescription of other Headwords
               and definitions by other Authorities and incorporates them through mappings. The RDD Dictionary
               also supports the circumstance that the same name may have different meanings under different
               Authorities. ISO/IEC 21000-6:2004describes audit provisions so that additions, amendments
               and deletions to Terms and their attributes can be tracked.
            <br/>

                        ISO/IEC 21000-6:2004 recognizes legal definitions as and only
               as Terms from other Authorities that can be mapped into the RDD Dictionary. Therefore

                        MEDCIN contains more than 175,000 clinical data elements arranged
               in a hierarchy, with each item having weighted links to relevant diagnoses.  The clinical
               data elements are organized into six basic termtypes designed to accommodate information
               relevant to a clinical encounter.  The basic termtypes in MEDCIN's terminological hierarchy
               are as follows:
            <br/>

                        Symptoms History Physical Examination Tests Diagnoses Therapy
            <br/>

                        Within this basic structure, MEDCIN terms are further organized
               in a ten level terminological hierarchy, supplemented by an optional, multi-hierarchical
               diagnostic index.  For example, the symptom of &quot;difficulty breathing&quot; is placed
               in the terminological hierarchy as a subsidiary (or &quot;child&quot;) finding of &quot;pulmonary
               symptoms&quot; although the presence (or absence) of difficulty breathing can related
               to conditions as diverse as myocardial infarction, bronchitis, pharyngeal foreign bodies,
               asthma, pulmonary embolism, etc.  MEDCIN's diagnostic index provides more than 800 such
               links for difficulty breathing.

               for &quot;drug ingredient&quot; is also provided here because the definition of &quot;active
               ingredient&quot; is reliant on this term.)
            <br/>

                        Drug Product A drug product is a manufactured or extemporaneously-compounded
               physiologically-active material intended by the preparer to achieve therapeutic, diagnostic,
               or preventative effects via biochemical mechanisms when applied to an epithelial surface
               or placed in an internal body space of a targeted organism.
            <br/>

                        Drug Ingredient A drug ingredient is a chemical compound or biologic
               agent that occurs in a drug product.
            <br/>

                        Active Ingredient An active ingredient is a drug ingredient that
               mediates one or more of the intended therapeutic, diagnostic, or preventative effects
               of a drug product and is present in sufficient quantities to achieve such effects according
               to the allopathic tradition of healthcare practice.

               Classification (SIC) for statistical purposes.  NAICS is a system for classifying establishments
               by type of economic activity.  Its purposes are:  (1) to facilitate the collection, tabulation,
               presentation, and analysis of data relating to establishments, and (2) to promote uniformity
               and comparability in the presentation of statistical data describing the economy.  NAICS
               will be used by Federal statistical agencies that collect or publish data by industry.

                        The NMMDS is the minimum set of items of information with uniform
               definitions and categories concerning the specific dimension of the context of patient
               care delivery.  It represents the minimum data used to support the management and administration
               of patient/nursing care delivery across all types of settings.  The NMMDS is composed
               of seventeen (17) data elements organized into three categories: environment, nurse resources,
               and financial resources.  See Tables 1-3 for the elements and related definitions organized
               by each categories.  The NMMDS most appropriately focuses at the first level of accountability
               for patient/client/family/community nursing care: this may be the delivery unit, service,
               or center of excellence level.  The NMMDS supports numerous constructed variables as well
               as aggregation of data at the unit, institution, network, and system, etc levels.  This
               minimum data set provides the structure for the collection of uniform information that
               influences quality of patient care, directly and indirectly.

                        In the United States, federal standards for classifying data on
               race determine the categories used by federal agencies and exert a strong influence on
               categorization by state and local agencies and private sector organizations.  The federal
               standards do not conceptually define race, and they recognize the absence of an anthropological
               or scientific basis for racial classification.  Instead, the federal standards acknowledge
               that race is a social-political construct in which an individual's own identification
               with one more race categories is preferred to observer identification. The standards use
               a variety of features to define five minimum race categories. Among these features are
               descent from &quot;the original peoples&quot; of a specified region or nation.  The minimum
               race categories are American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American,
               Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and White.  The federal standards stipulate
               that race data need not be limited to the five minimum categories, but any expansion must
               be collapsible to those categories.

      <definition value="ISO/IEC 21000-6:2004 describes a Rights Data Dictionary which comprises a set of clear,
         consistent, structured, integrated and uniquely identified terms to support the MPEG-21
         Rights Expression Language (REL), ISO/IEC 21000-5. Annex A specifies the methodology for
         and structure of the RDD Dictionary, and specifies how further Terms may be defined under
         the governance of a Registration Authority, requirements for which are described in Annex
         C.                          Taken together, these specifications and the RDD Dictionary
         and Database make up the RDD System. Use of the RDD System will facilitate the accurate
         exchange and processing of information between interested parties involved in the administration
         of rights in, and use of, Digital Items, and in particular it is intended to support ISO/IEC
         21000-5 (REL). Clause 6 describes how ISO/IEC 21000-6:2004 relates to ISO/IEC 21000-5.
                                  As well as providing definitions of terms for use in ISO/IEC
         21000-5, the RDD System is designed to support the mapping of terms from different namespaces.
         Such mapping will enable the transformation of metadata from the terminology of one namespace
         (or Authority) into that of another namespace. Mapping, to ensure minimum ambiguity or
         loss of semantic integrity, will be the responsibility of the Registration Authority.
         Provision of automated trm look-up is also a requirement.                          The
         RDD Dictionary is a prescriptive dctionary, in the sense that it defines a single meaning
         for a trm represented by a particular RddAuthorized TermName, but it is also inclusive
         in that it can recognize the prescription of other Headwords and definitions by other
         Authorities and incorporates them through mappings. The RDD Dictionary also supports the
         circumstance that the same name may have different meanings under different Authorities.
         ISO/IEC 21000-6:2004describes audit provisions so that additions, amendments and deletions
         to Terms and their attributes can be tracked.                          ISO/IEC 21000-6:2004
         recognizes legal definitions as and only as Terms from other Authorities that can be mapped
         into the RDD Dictionary. Therefore Terms that are directly authorized by the RDD Registration
         Authority neither define nor prescribe intellectual property rights or other legal entities."/>
