For many datatypes, Lab is proposing the use of particular datatype .Flavors. which are named
constraints on datatypes. These Flavors are generally referenced directly within the pCLMN
specification. There is presently discussion within HL7 about how to represent in an instance what
Flavour of a datatype is in use (as a parallel to xsi:type which identifies the international datatype in use).
This mechanism will be used within Lab instances once defined and approved at the international level.
The mechanism for for flavours is the attribute "SpecalizationType" which shows the flavour, such as "II.PUBLIC" as a concrete type derived from the abstract "II" type.
