LOINC
The LOINC conversion map uses the Loincdb.txt file (within LOINCtab.zip saved as .csv with notes clipped off) available from the Regenstrief Institute (https://loinc.org/license). For more information about this code list, see the External Code Source section of Washington Publishing HIPAA 005010 Implementation Guide.

Notes
The LOINC_NUM and COMPONENT fields are mapped directly to fields on the Output side of the map. The TempLink in the LinkingRecord group is present to ensure that the extended rules (on the Output side of the map) which are responsible for writing out the schema namespaces and the Sterling B2B Integrator version attributes for the SI_RESOURCES document element are executed.
