In the Core Elements...The term “datatype” refers to “a type whose instances are identified only by their value. This definition is oversimplified within the context of ISO21090. ISO21090 is mentioned in the introductory document, hence the definition of a datatype should be more complex. It seems that the CD datatypes are not used in the specifications, and enumerations are used wherever codes belonging to Code Systems are needed.
