This node, the OWL defined relationships that point to it, and a set of properties key to defining aspects of a value set, allow LexEVS to adequately define this, both in terms of a Value Set Definition, and also as a Coding Scheme object.  The API's that work in conjunction with the externally defined value set definitions and resolved value set coding schemes can receive these objects transparently because they are the same type as previously defined for the legacy API.  Since these Objects have been adequately defined elsewhere in this documentation set, we won't redefine them here.

Defining Attributes of Value Sets in the Asserting Terminology

Contributing Source:  Describes an agency or group that defines the value set

Example:

property name:  "Contributing_Source"

property value:  "CDISC"

Publish Flag:

Example:

property name: "Publish_Value_Set"

property value: "Yes"

Asserted Value Set Relation: Defines an association between the members of the value set and its "top node" which is usually the target of this relationship

Example:  "Concept_In_Subset"

Asserted Value Set Hierarchy: Defines an association between the value set top nodes without defining membership in a value set with nodes above and below any given node in the hieararchy.

Example:  "subClassOf"

Concept Domain: An abstraction defining what type conceptual membership is defined semantically for the value set

Example:  "Semantic_Type"
