Data structure

The 900000000000538005 |Description format reference set| is a C-I (- Integer (data type))which is used to specify the length and format of theinof this. Its structure is shown in the following table.

Table 57. Description format reference set - Data structure

 

 

Field

Data type

Purpose

id (field)

UUID (data type)

A 128 bit unsigned Integer (data type), uniquely identifying this.

Different versions of a reference set member share the same id (field) but have different effectiveTime (field). This allows a reference set member to be modified or made active (field) (i.e. removed from the active set) at a specified time.

effectiveTime (field)

Time (data type)

The inclusive date or time at which this version of the identifiedbecame the current version.

The current version of thisat time T is the version with the most recent effectiveTime (field) prior to or equal to time T .

active (field)

Boolean (data type)

The state of the identifiedas at the specified effectiveTime (field) .

If active (field) = 1 (true) theis part of the current version of the set, if active (field) = 0 (false) theis not part of the current version of the set.

moduleId (field)

SCTID (data type)

Identifies thethat contains thisas at the specified effectiveTime (field) .

The value must be aof 900000000000443000 |Module (core metadata concept)| within the metadata.

refsetId (field)

SCTID (data type)

Identifies theto which thisbelongs.

In this case, set to 900000000000538005 |Description format reference set (foundation metadata concept)|

referencedComponentId (field)

SCTID (data type)

A reference to theof 900000000000446008 |Description type (core metadata concept)| which specifies theto which this format applies.

descriptionFormat (field)

SCTID (data type)

A reference to aof 900000000000539002 |Description format (foundation metadata concept)| attribute which specifies the format ofinof this.

descriptionLength (field)

Integer

The maximum length in bytes of theinof this.
