CategoricalVariant

Trial Use

May change in future releases. See Maturity Model.

Computational Definition

A representation of a categorically-defined domain for variation, in which individual Constraintual variation instances may be members of the domain.

Information Model

Some CategoricalVariant attributes are inherited from Entity.

Field	Flags	Type	Limits	Description
id		string	0..1	The ‘logical’ identifier of the Entity in the system of record, e.g. a UUID. This ‘id’ is unique within a given system, but may or may not be globally unique outside the system. It is used within a system to reference an object from another.
type		string	1..1	MUST be “CategoricalVariant”
name		string	1..1	A primary name for the entity.
description		string	0..1	A free-text description of the Entity.
aliases	⋮	string	0..m	Alternative name(s) for the Entity.
extensions	⋮	Extension	0..m	A list of extensions to the Entity, that allow for capture of information not directly supported by elements defined in the model.
members	⋮	Variation | iriReference	0..m	A non-exhaustive list of VRS Variations that satisfy the constraints of this categorical variant.
constraints	⋮	Constraint	0..m
mappings	⋮	Concept Mapping	0..m	A list of mappings to concepts in terminologies or code systems. Each mapping should include a coding and a relation.
