Use cases
COMPTYPE is a simple lookup/reference entity that provides a controlled vocabulary for classifying COMP records via their 'class' field. It exists as a separate entity rather than an inline select list so that organisations can define and manage their own component taxonomy without modifying the COMP definition.
