<broader>

An identifier of a more generic concept.

Note

Usage note

User Note: The rank attribute of broader is suitable for use in a Knowledge Item representing a scheme. It is used when it is important that the Child Elements of a particular term are displayed in a user interface in a predefined order. For example, the major currencies could be given a rank of “1”, while all other currencies could be given a rank of “2”. Terms of the same rank are ordered alphabetically by name if this is available. If the name is not available, the terms are ordered by code value. Terms without a rank are treated as if they all have the same rank, which is higher than the rank of all other terms. The same concept may have different ranks in different concept trees. A lower rank results in a placement earlier in a display.

Content model

Any of these, in any order, each 0..∞:

Also accepts elements from other namespaces (extension point).
