# Code Directory

### Definition

The definition of a [Terminology](/standards/dci/terminology.md#code-directory)is documented in the Terminology section.

#### Language and Localization

The definitions documented in the Code directory section are language-agnostic and intended to be used consistently across different countries and system implementations.

Countries and implementing partners may create localized profile versions, including labels and descriptions in the language(s) of their preference. In all cases, the underlying codes must remain unchanged and aligned with the standardized definitions.

This approach ensures interoperability and semantic consistency at the data level, while allowing flexibility for national languages and local user needs at the presentation and user-interface level.

### Data Type

{% hint style="info" %}
The data type for all code directories is [DT.COM.02 string](/standards/standards-for-interoperability-interfaces/common-standards-for-interoperability-interfaces/data/data-types-and-formats/dt.com.02-string.md).
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://standards.spdci.org/standards/standards-for-interoperability-interfaces/common-standards-for-interoperability-interfaces/data/code-directory.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
