Code describing the concept represented by this Content Item. Also conveys the value of Document Title and section headings in documents.
Only a single Item shall be included in this Sequence.
Required if Value Type (0040,A040) is TEXT, NUM, CODE, DATETIME, DATE, TIME, UIDREF, TABLE or PNAME.
Required if Value Type (0040,A040) is CONTAINER and a heading is present, or this is the Root Content Item.
Note
That is, containers without headings do not require Concept Name Code Sequence
Required if Value Type (0040,A040) is COMPOSITE, IMAGE, WAVEFORM, SCOORD, SCOORD3D or TCOORD, and the Purpose of Reference is conveyed in the Concept Name.
Note
Though many Templates in PS3.16 do not require that the Purpose of Reference be conveyed in the Concept Name, a generic Concept Name, such as (260753009, SCT, "Source"), may be used, since anonymous (unnamed) Content Items may be undesirable for some implementations (e.g., for which the name of a name-value pair is required). UMLS (C0449416) maps (260753009, SCT, "Source") to (C25683, NCIt, "Source"). NCIt defines it as "Where something is available or from where it originates".
