Re: Need a Related Data element

[Len Gallagher <LGallagher@nist.gov>]

All,

My previous email had the following incomplete paragraph in it:

"Registered <data-elements> can be distinguished from registered 
<data-element-dictionary>s as follows ..."

Here is the omitted part (referencing the figure attached to the previous
email):

1) If a <data element> is registered by itself, not as part of a
<data-element-dictionary> package, then the DictionaryId field of
REGISTRY_ITEM will be null.

2) If a <data element> is part of a <data-element-dictionary> package, then
both the <data element> and the <data element dictionary> are registered as
instances of REGISTRY_ITEM.  In addition, the DictionaryId field for the
<data-element> will reference the <data-element-dictionary> and the
DictionaryId field for the <data-element-dictionary> will reference itself.

Sorry for the omission.

-- Len G.
