## Overview

The NamingSystem resource allows us to provide extra information about a Local ID, such as the textual display name.

## Relevant PKB entities

- [[[Local ID Type]]](https://pkbdev.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/api/pages/3363700789/Data+Model#Identifiers)
  - [[[Organisation Level ID Type]]](https://pkbdev.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/api/pages/3363700789/Data+Model#Identifiers)
  - [[[Team Level ID Type]]](https://pkbdev.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/api/pages/3363700789/Data+Model#Identifiers)

## Mappings

| **FHIR** | **PKB** | **Notes** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Resource id | <conditional>   
If this represents an Organisation Level ID Type:   [[Organisation Level ID Type.Public ID]]   
Else if this represents a Team Level ID Type:  [[Team Level ID Type.Public ID]] |  |
| NamingSystem.name | <conditional>   
If this represents an Organisation Level ID Type:  [[Organisation Level ID Type.Name]]   
Else if this represents a Team Level ID Type:  [[Team Level ID Type.Name]] |  |
| NamingSystem.status | "active" |  |
| NamingSystem.kind | "identifier" |  |
| NamingSystem.date | Current date, e.g. 2017-09-09 |  |
| NamingSystem.uniqueId | - uniqueId: BackboneElement
  - type = "uri"
  - value = "urn:uuid:" + Resource id | The uniqueId value is the value that is returned to callers in Identifier.system alongside an identifier. Callers can then attempt to retrieve additional information about the namespace (in the form of a NamingSystem resource) by providing this value in the "value" search param.<br>See [Identifier Systems](https://pkbdev.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/api/pages/3365077836/Identifiers+matching) for more info. |
