Submitted date: 11/24/2008	Change request ID: CSCR-084

Issue

Sometimes in public health reporting the relationship between two acts is unclear.

Recommendation

• Add the uncertaintyCode attribute to the sourceOf2/targetOf and sourceOf1 act relationships in the CS model.

Rationale

In one model for documenting exposures the relationship between an acquisition exposure event and a transmission exposure event may be uncertain.

Recommended Action Items

Add the following attribute to the sourceOf2/targetOf and sourceOf1 act relationships:

• uncertaintyCode – CE CNE [0..1] <= ActUncertainty (optional)
  • (RIM) A code indicating whether the specific relationship between the source and target Acts has been asserted to be uncertain in any way.

Resolution
