The DDL category ITEM_ALIASES defines the alias names that can be substituted for a data-item name. The alias mechanism also provides a means of identifying items by names other than those that follow the naming conventions used in this DDL. This feature should be used primarily to guarantee the stability of names defined in previously published dictionaries. The items _item_aliases.name, _item_aliases.dictionary and _item_aliases.version form the key for this category. The items _item_aliases.dictionary and _item_aliases.version are provided to distinguish between dictionaries and different versions of the same dictionary. Any number of unique alias names can be defined for a data item.
