Reference Model Abstract Class: ADXP

An abstract data type whose specification otherwise conforms to a constraint of the ISO 21090 representation of an address part that includes its value and type. Typical part types that exist in most addresses are street, house number, or post box, postal code, city, country but other roles may be defined regionally, nationally, or on an enterprise level (e.g. in military addresses). In addition to the string value, the part also may be encoded using a code attribute, however, the string content must always be provided whether or not the content is encoded, unless the instance itself is null.

Attributes

Name Data type Occurs Description
value String 1..1 As specified by ISO 21090, the actual string value of the part..
code String 0..1 As specified by ISO 21090, a code assigned to the part by some coding system, if appropriate.
codeSystem String 0..1 As specified by ISO 21090, the code system from which the code is taken. The choice of coding system depends on the part type.
codeSystemVersion String 0..1 As specified by ISO 21090, the version of the coding system, if required..
language Code 1..1 As specified by ISO 21090, the human language of the content. Valid codes are taken from the IETF RFC 3066. If this attribute is null, the language may be inferred from elsewhere, either from the context or from unicode language tags, for example..
type AddressPartType 0..1 The type of the address part (e.g. street, city, country, postal code, post box, etc). ISO 21090 specifies use of the HL7 v3 AddressPartType code system. The LRA adopts a subset of this and specifies a number of additional codes to meet the address part type requirements of address structures specified by:
