Alternative definition : BRIDG 5.3: A unique symbol that establishes identity of a specific source that assigns
or issues identifiers. EXAMPLE(S): 2.16.840.1.113883.3.184 (Identifier for United
States Social Security Administration) OTHER NAME(S): NOTE(S): ---------- This attribute
provides a means to specify which particular instance of a system issued the value
in the identifier attribute. It should be used alongside the sourceCode attribute
which will specify the type of system (rather than the instance). The attribute uses
the II datatype which gives it a root and an extension. This attribute may NOT be
used to assess equality of two attributes and its value may be changed as required.
The attribute has a data type of II, in most contexts only the extension value will
be required, but there may be occasions where the root should also be given a value.
This should be drawn from the OID catalogue as usual.;
