A name for a person. Within the LRA this data type is specialised into two flavors to support the logical representation of person name structures specified by:

• NPfIT MIM Datatypes Implementation Manual;
• Person Demographic Service; and
• NHS Data Model and Dictionary.

The use and validTime (Low and High) attributes may be used to represent the use and validTime attributes within NPfIT MIM Person Name data type flavors. The PDS NAME and NHS Data Model and Dictionary PERSON NAME classes also specify equivalent attributes.
