Code 🔬
Indicates that the value is taken from a set of controlled strings defined elsewhere. Technically, a code is restricted to a string which has at least one character and no leading or trailing whitespace, and where there is no whitespace other than single spaces in the contents.
This data type is intended to represent a finite set of controlled strings which represents a specific, discrete concept, element or idea.
Structure
| Attribute | Value | Description & Constraints |
|---|---|---|
| Type | string | Shall be represented in UTF-8 format, as specified in RFC 3629, which is an extension of the ISO 10646-1 standard. |
| Regex Pattern | ^[^\s]+( [^\s]+)*$ | String which has at least one character and no leading or trailing whitespace, and where there is no whitespace other than single spaces in the contents. |

Implementation Notes
This data structure is mainly meant to illustrate and restrict what is allowed to be encoded for an arbitrary code value. This is meant to only be used as a semantic reference point. This data structure is loosely inspired by the FHIR Code Type.
