Comment:
The UDI does not itself identify the repository or jurisdiction. When using a datatype which has a 'system' the jurisdiction can be held in the system. This will be key for users to be able to know which repository to check for further information as the FDA will not be the only jurisdiction on the planet and with medical tourism people will bring non-FDA UDIs into the FDA jurisdiction.
The alternate of creating a separate field for each UDI issuing jurisdiction is I think bad design and an unnecceasry burden on implementers.
