Introduction

1.1

Overview

The HL7-defined vocabulary domain tables that have been developed for coded class attributes are stored in the HL7 repository, from which a number of views have been extracted to produce the HL7 Vocabulary Domain Listings for the HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM). The views are presented in table format and include the HL7 Vocabulary Domain Values, the HL7 Domain Tables and Coded Attributes Cross-reference. HL7-recognized external vocabulary domains are described in the External Domains list.

The vocabulary domain name and the associated extensibility qualifier for each coded attribute in the RIM are specified in the RIM narrative. This specification occurs as the first line of the attribute's description in the following format:

Vocabulary Domain: "MyVocabularyDomain" (CWE)

There is a link between the vocabulary domain name in the RIM listing and its entry in the HL7 Vocabulary Domain Values table in this listing.

For those domains that are not yet developed, a domain name has been assigned, but the table contains no values and therefore is not listed here.

Tables included in this representation include:
