Name | Cardinality | Datatype | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Commonality | 0..1 | A description of the common features of the two items using a StructuredString to support multiple language versions of the same content as well as optional formatting of the content. | |
Difference | 0..1 | A description of the differences between the two items using a StructuredString to support multiple language versions of the same content as well as optional formatting of the content. | |
CommonalityTypeCoded | 0..1 | A brief description describing the commonality of the two schemes/items, i.e., "Identical", "High", "Medium", "Low", "None". Supports the use of an external controlled vocabulary. | |
UserDefinedCorrespondenceProperty | 0..n | An alternate means of expressing commonality within a specific system. A system specific user defined correspondence expressed as a key/value pair. As this is specific to an individual system the use of controlled vocabularies for the key is strongly recommended. |
