Type identifier description

Is a set of type reference identifier based on MDC nomenclature advocated by Continua Design Guidelines. Use foremost in their implementation of IHE-PCD01 in order to transmit data from client to server. In the LinkWatch API implementation, the integer value part is used in both REST API parameters and observation/measurement bodies.
