A MemberValue may have a value that corresponds to a Code, including its children Codes (via the cascadeValues property), or even include instances of the wildcard character ‘%’ in order to point to a set of Codes with common parts in their identifiers.

  The ConceptScheme can have one or more Concepts. A Concept can have zero or more child Concepts, thus supporting a hierarchy of Concepts. Note that a child Concept can have only one parent Concept in this association. The purpose of the hierarchy is to relate concepts that have a semantic relationship: for example, a Reporting_Country and Vis_a_Vis_Country may both have Country as a parent concept, or a CONTACT may have a PRIMARY_CONTACT as a child concept. It is not the purpose of such schemes to define reporting structures: these reporting structures are defined in the MetadataStructureDefinition.

  This package defines the structure that supports the definition of and relationships between categories in a category scheme. It is similar to the package for concept scheme. An example of a category scheme is one which categorises data – sometimes known as a subject matter domain scheme or a data category scheme. Importantly, as will be seen later, the individual nodes in the scheme (the “categories”) can be associated to any set of IdentiableArtefacts in a Categorisation.

  The CategoryScheme can have one or more Categorys. The Category is Identifiable and has identity information. A Category can have zero or more child Categorys, thus supporting a hierarchy of Categorys. Any IdentifiableArtefact can be +categorisedBy a Category. This is achieved by means of a Categorisation. Each Categorisation can associate one IdentifiableArtefact with one Category. Multiple Categorisations can be used to build a set of IdentifiableArtefacts that are +categorisedBy the same Category. Note that there is no navigation (i.e. no embedded reference) to the Categorisation from the Category. From an implementation perspective this is necessary as Categorisation has no effect on the versioning of either the CategoryScheme or the IdentifiableArtefact.
