A coded value specifying a classification of activities. EXAMPLE(S): In the case where categoryCode = \'anti-cancer treatment\', the subcategoryCode may = \'radiotherapy\', and the nameCode may = \'external beam radiotherapy\'. In Procedure, categoryCode may = \'abdominal surgery\'. In AdministrativeActivity, the categoryCode may = \'Disposition\' (off study, epoch completion), \'Milestone\' (informed consent, enrollment, registry, randomization) or \'Other\' (unblinding) activities. For lab procedures, categoryCode may = \'hematology\', \'urinalysis\', or \'chemistry\'. OTHER NAME(S): NOTE(S): Theoretically speaking, the categoryCode should be derivable from the subcategoryCode, however if there may only be a category and not a subcategory, then both attributes must be present in the model. When value sets are defined for this attribute, we may need to move it to the DefinedActivity subclasses so that the different value domains can be bound to the correct subclass.
