Extend allowable answers with additional permitted values
Domain Description
In many cases, data elements can be reused but the allowable values need to be extended or restricted. For example, one researcher may want to capture diseases of the nervous system while another may want to capture diseases of the cirulatory system. These both can be captured in the same data element (disease) using the same controlled terminology
...
(ICD-9).
...
However,
...
the
...
list
...
of
...
allowable
...
values
...
is
...
quite
...
different.
...
Furthermore,
...
yet
...
another
...
researcher
...
may
...
want
...
to
...
focus
...
only
...
on
...
certain
...
circulatory
...
diseases,
...
such
...
as
...
those
...
of
...
the
...
heart.

them

as

Description

allows

element

to

have

a

value

domain

referencing
...
an

external

terminology.

Furthermore,

those

terminologies

can

be

constrained

or

expanded

as

needed

in
