Terminology Bindings

Organization.code has the definition OrganisationType: "The type of an organisation". A good candidate for codes is SNOMED-CT Organisation codes and the HL7 v3 Entity Code table
Organization.industryCode has the definition Industry: "Code for the type of industry". If an appropriate code exists in HL7 v3 OrganizationIndustryClass value set then it should be used
Organization.accreditation.code has the definition Accreditation: "Accreditations an organization may be granted"
Organization.relatedOrganization.code has the definition OrganizationRelationship: "The relationship an organization has to the subject, including sub and super organizations, and other kind of relationships such as partner organisations"

Notes:

The organization references are all optional, so can be replaced by simple text rather than a full resource reference
