The LexEVS loader handles the multiple code scenarios for a concept by creating a LexGrid Entity for each of the codes contained within the concept.  The entityCode value for the LexGrid Entity, as described in the previous Overview section, uses the code value along with concept’s internal identifier type property to distinguish the LexGrid Entities from each other and still have a mechanism via the concept’s internal identifier value to tie them to the same load source concept.  The LexEVS loader will apply any concept properties and concept relationships the concept has to each of the LexGrid Entities.  For example, if a concept having internal identifier value "12345" has codes ABC and DEF defined and has one concept relationship to the target code XYZ with a relationshipName attribute value of “Specializes” defined, the LexEVS loader will create the “Specializes” LexGrid AssociationPredicate and Associations to the target entity XZY for both source entities ABC and DEF as shown below.
