This is the descriptive attribute that is used to relate the congruence between two concepts. The concept that is represented in the party perspective, via the Status_ID field is [this field, i.e. <,>,=] the concept represented in Concept_ID field. As normally used, (no Longer Valid Concept) [convergence] (Valid Concept). For example, if a concept is split, the convergence would be 'greater than' (The old concept is 'greater than' the new concept).

Description
Sorting
equal
The two concepts are exactly the same.
1
greater than
The reference concept (referenced in table:Status) fully contains the correlated concept (referenced in table:Concept), but also includes additional entities.
2
less than
The reference concept is fully included in the correlated concept, but the latter concept contains additional entities.
3
not equal
The two concepts, are not exactly the same. This leaves the possibilities that the reference concept is greater than, less than, overlapping, similar, or disjunct relative to the correlated concept.
4
overlapping
The two concepts contain at least one common individual, and each concept also contains at least one individual that the other does not contain. Neither concept is fully contained in the other.
5
similar
The two concepts contain at least one common individual.
6
disjunct
The two concepts in question contain no common individuals.
7
undetermined
Although some correlation is likely, the party responsible for the this correlation has not made a determination.
