Generally used to give the data archive's class or study status number, which indicates the processing status of the study. May also be used as a text field to describe processing status. This element may be repeated to support multiple language expressions of the content. The use of the attribute "type" as a means of specifying a controlled vocabulary concept is DEPRECATED. To specify the use of a Controlled Vocabulary or standard concept use the internal element "concept". If multiple concepts are needed the parent element should be replicated. Internal text related to each concept should be allocated to accompany the relevant concept.
