_item_related.function_code

Name:
'_item_related.function_code'

Definition:

   
     The code for the type of relationship between the item identified by
     _item_related.name and the defined item.

      ALTERNATE  indicates that the item identified in
      _item_related.related_name is an alternative expression in terms
      of its application and attributes to the item in this definition.

      ALTERNATE_EXCLUSIVE indicates that the item identified in
      _item_related.related_name is an alternative expression in terms
      of its application and attributes to the item in this definition.
      Only one of the alternative forms may be specified.

      CONVENTION  indicates that the item identified in
      _item_related.related_name differs from the defined item only
      in terms of a convention in its expression.

      CONVERSION_CONSTANT indicates that the item identified in
      _item_related.related_name differs from the defined item only
      by a known constant.

      CONVERSION_ARBITRARY indicates that the item identified in
      _item_related.related_name differs from the defined item only
      by an arbitrary constant.

      REPLACES  indicates that the defined item replaces the item identified
      in _item_related.related_name.

      REPLACEDBY  indicates that the defined item is replaced by the
      item identified in  _item_related.related_name.

      ASSOCIATED_VALUE indicates that the item identified in
      _item_related.related_name is meaningful when associated with the
      defined item.

      ASSOCIATED_ESD indicates that the item identified in
      _item_related.related_name is the estimated standard deviation of
      of the defined item.

      ASSOCIATED_ERROR indicates that the item identified in
      _item_related.related_name is the estimated error of
      of the defined item.

Type: code

Mandatory item: yes

The data value must be one of the following:

alternate alternate form of the item

alternate_exclusive mutually exclusive alternate form of the item

convention depends on defined convention

conversion_constant related by a known conversion factor

conversion_arbitrary related by an arbitrary conversion factor

replaces a replacement definition

replacedby an obsolete definition

associated_value a meaningful value when related to the item

associated_esd an estimated standard deviation of the item

associated_error an estimated error of the item
