public interface ED<V>

Data that is primarily intended for human interpretation or for further machine processing outside the scope of HL7.

This includes unformatted or formatted written language, multimedia data, or structured information in as defined by a different standard (e.g., XML-signatures.) Instead of the data itself, an ED may contain only a reference (see TEL.) Note that ST is a specialization of the ED where the mediaType is fixed to text/plain.
