The content of the data is represented in the resource narrative. |
It may be linked by internal references (e.g. xml:id). This usually implies that the value could not be represented in the correct format - this may be due to system limitations, or this particular data value. |

This is sometimes an output value from measuring devices. |
| 2 |

This is most often associated with required bindings that do not include the actual code used, but may be used with other data types. |
