scope:

This part of ISO/TS 29002 specifies a format for identifiers for elements of a concept dictionary. The format specification is a concrete syntax that meets the general requirements for an international registration data identifier (IRDI) specified in ISO/IEC 11179-5. The format will be used by ISO 13584 and ISO/TS 22745 in order to provide a level of interoperability between implementations of these standards, and could have more general applicability. This part of ISO/TS 29002 serves as a generic resource that can be restricted through implementation profiles by standards that reference it. It can also be implemented without restriction. The following are within the scope of this part of ISO/TS 29002: data elements for identification of elements of a concept dictionary, including concepts and their associated concept information elements; syntax of an identifier of elements of a concept dictionary; rules regarding compatibility of restricted schemas with this part of ISO/TS 29002. The following is outside the scope of this part of ISO/TS 29002: rules specific to standards that reference this part of ISO/TS 29002.
