      in 4.10.8 DependsOn.value

      After this sentence: All dependsOn and product values are included in the output of $translate.
      Add the following text: 

      Interpretation and use of these values is based on the definition of the associated property.

      The use of valueCode implies the CodeSystem is known from the property definition.  


      AND

      remove the 2 words "and product" from this sentence:  All dependsOn and product values are included in the output of $translate.

    Description

      The ConceptMap2.group.element.target.dependsOn.value[x] element allows the 'code' data type to be chosen. When present as a code (valueCode) in a ConceptMap resource, it is then unclear which coding system the code was taken from nor the version of this coding system. 

      The issues applies to both of the following elements:

      ConceptMap2.group.element.target.dependsOn.value[x] 

      ConceptMap2.group.element.target.product.value[x]{}

      The ConceptMap2.group.element.target.dependsOn.property ** uri ** value associated with the valueCode may provide a hint about what the coding system is (or complete details if the URI is a URL which can be publicly accessed) this is insufficient as the property identifier may be unreliable or meaningless to recipients of the concept map.

       

      The proposed resolution to this issue to remove 'code' as an acceptable choice datatype for the above elements. That way, when the value is a code, the element can be represented using the Coding datatype which supports assertion of both the coding system and the coding system version.
