public enum ConceptNameType
extends Enum<ConceptNameType>

The concept name type enumeration

FULLY_SPECIFIED - Indicates that the name is marked as the fully specified name, which is returned by default for a locale in case there is no preferred name set, a concept can have only one fully specified name per locale. It will also be set as the preferred name in its locale if no name is explicitly set as preferred for the same locale and concept.

SHORT - Indicates the name is marked as the short name for the concept, only one name can be marked short per locale for a concept

INDEX_TERM - Indicates that the name is marked as a search term for the concept, it could be a common mis spelt version of any of the names for the concept, typically this name will be used for searching purposes.

NOTE: Any name with a null Concept name type is deemed a synonym. ONLY a fully specified name or synonym can be marked as preferred
