Source The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')
Display The display (used in the
display element of a
Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
