openCP-1603: Enhance Coding Schemes Table... and introduce "Coding Scheme Resources Sequence"
0%
Description
Rationale for Correction:
Table 8-1 (Coding Schemes) in PS3.16 (Content Mapping Resource) lists the coding schemes defined for use in DICOM. However,
it does not always contain sufficient or easy to find information for filling some optional attributes of the Coding Scheme Identification
Sequence (0008,0110) in the SOP Common Module, e.g. the Coding Scheme Name (0008,0115) or the Coding Scheme Responsible
Organization (0008,0116).It is proposed to introduce additional columns to Table 8-1 that contain such information explicitly (if available). Having separate
columns for this purpose makes it easier to extract this information automatically from the machine-readable DocBook/XML version
of the DICOM standard text. In order to avoid redundancy, the text in the "Description" column should also be revised.Also, link to the Normative Reference section entries where appropriate.
In addition, it is useful to provide URLs that link to documentation, representations or services related to the coding scheme, and it
should be possible to encode these in the IOD.The poorly placed note (added by CP 373) describing the incorrect attribution of alphabetic sex codes to ISO 5218 is moved into
the description column and improved.
Current status of this CP is "VP" (Voting Package).
