Appendix 4 HL7 Code Tables (Normative)

In HL7 V2.4 there are two table types, reflecting content ownership: HL7 defined and User-defined. Local implementation may further constrain these table types.

User-defined Tables 

A user-defined table is a set of values that are locally or site defined.

HL7 Tables

An HL7 table is a set of values defined and published by HL7. They are a part of the HL7 Standard because they affect the interpretation of the messages that contain them. These values may not be redefined locally; however, the table itself may be extended to accommodate locally defined values. HL7 tables can be thought of as universally used tables.
