CTS2/doc/Core Model/URIAndEntityName

The CTS2 construct, URIAndEntityName, carries a reference to entity (aka. class, property, individual, 'concept', 'term' (in some contexts)). While, in its simplest form it is nothing more than a URI, it also contains a number of optional fields that make process and display easier. The basic structure of URIandEntityName is:

  <URIAndEntityName uri="{URI}" [href="{href}"]>
       [<namespace>{namespace}</namespace>
        <name>{name or code}</name>]
       [<designation>{designation}</designation>]
  </URIAndEntityName>

URIAndEntityName is not an element - it is always the type of another attribute, such as the subject of an Association or as an entry in a ResolvedValueSet. As an example, the first few entries in the resolution of the first few entries in the SNOMED CT Template:Sctph:447565001 could be represented as a simple set of URI's:

 <entry uri="http://snomed.info/id/211009"/>
 <entry uri="http://snomed.info/id/302007"/>
 <entry uri="http://snomed.info/id/449005"/>
 <entry uri="http://snomed.info/id/544002"/>
 <entry uri="http://snomed.info/id/669007"/>

A URI/designation combination:

    <entry uri="http://snomed.info/id/211009">
        <core:designation>Norethandrolone preparation (product)</core:designation>
    </entry>
    <entry uri="http://snomed.info/id/302007">
        <core:designation>Spiramycin (product)</core:designation>
    </entry>
    <entry uri="http://snomed.info/id/449005">
        <core:designation>Penicillin G procaine (product)</core:designation>
    </entry>
    <entry uri="http://snomed.info/id/544002">
        <core:designation>Melphalan (product)</core:designation>
    </entry>
    <entry uri="http://snomed.info/id/669007">
        <core:designation>Vaccinia virus vaccine (product)</core:designation>
    </entry>

URI, designation and namespace/name:

   <entry uri="http://snomed.info/id/211009">
        <core:namespace>sctid</core:namespace>
        <core:name>211009</core:name>
        <core:designation>Norethandrolone preparation (product)</core:designation>
    </entry>
    <entry uri="http://snomed.info/id/302007">
        <core:namespace>sctid</core:namespace>
        <core:name>302007</core:name>
        <core:designation>Spiramycin (product)</core:designation>
    </entry>
    <entry uri="http://snomed.info/id/449005">
        <core:namespace>sctid</core:namespace>
        <core:name>449005</core:name>
        <core:designation>Penicillin G procaine (product)</core:designation>
    </entry>
    <entry uri="http://snomed.info/id/544002">
        <core:namespace>sctid</core:namespace>
        <core:name>544002</core:name>
        <core:designation>Melphalan (product)</core:designation>
    </entry>
    <entry uri="http://snomed.info/id/669007">
        <core:namespace>sctid</core:namespace>
        <core:name>669007</core:name>
        <core:designation>Vaccinia virus vaccine (product)</core:designation>
    </entry>
