Notes a different identifying concept representation (code) which is the same concept and thus considered a synonym. Used in UTG CodeSystem extensions.
Denotes a code designation which is preferred for the identified language among more than one for that language. Used in value set designation-use in FHIR.
Designation for use in display to non-clinicians and those not in healthcare professions as a more friendly term for coommunication.
Sponsor of the terminology object, as defined in the MIF using legacy tooling, and held in the codeSystem.header.contributor.role element.
Publisher of the terminology object, as defined in the MIF using legacy tooling, and held in the codeSystem.header.contributor.role element. Typically used only where the developer and steward is different than the organization publishing the code system.

The child code is a more narrow version of concept represented by the parent code. I.e. Every child concept is also a valid parent concept. Used to allow determination of subsumption. Must be transitive, irreflexive, antisymetric.
The child code is a part of the concept represented by the parent code. Used to determine allowed nesting, for example of address components. Must be transitive, irreflexive, antisymetric.
The child code is a part of a grouping represented by the parent code. Used to determine navigational hierarchy not based on a specializes or component relationship. E.g. ICD9 hierarchy. Is transitive, irreflexive and antisymetric
For coded ordeinal code systems, indicates that the specified code is considered less than the related code. Used to determine relationships for coded ordinals. Must be transitive, irreflexive, antisymetric.
Identifies a code that can act as a qualifier for the referenced code, both as part of concept definition within the code system and as part of run-time concept definition to determine concepts allowed for use as qualifiers for a concept within a CD datatype. Must be non-transitive, irreflexive.
Same as definitionally qualifies, but restricted to only being used at run-time. Must be non-transitive, irreflexive.
