the version or release identifier of
the service
the default format used by the
service unless otherwise specified
the set of namespaces recognized by
this service. Because many namespace identifiers tend to be cryptic (i.e. HL7 OIDs, BioPortal
URL's, etc.), <i>knownNamespace</i> includes the namespace name, an optional URI
\emph{and} a place to provide textual detail describing what the namespace references. Note
that namespace names must be unique across an entire CTS2 implementation - the same
namespace name cannot represent one namespace in code system A and a second in code system B.
Note also that namespace names are \emph{local} to a service instance. Information that is
communicated between service instances, recorded in data tables or client software
\emph{must} use full URIs.
