• The XML attribute extension shall contain the ODS site code

When ODS organisation code is used then the XML element id is populated in the following way:

• The XML attribute root shall contain an OID with the value "2.16.840.1.113883.2.1.3.2.4.19.1"
• The XML attribute extension shall contain the ODS organisation code
