Dutch term or phrase: atomair

In a document ( can be found online) relating to the digital exchange of a patient's medical records between healthcare providers.
I more or less understand what it means, but don't know the English term.

Om vast te stellen wie welke informatie beschikbaar stelt is een verwijsindex noodzakelijk. In de verwijsindex wordt per patiënt bijgehouden welke informatie bekend is en waar deze zich bevindt. Dit kan op twee niveaus:
• Atomair: registratie in de verwijsindex per gegevenselement (bijvoorbeeld medicatie).
• Categoraal: registratie in de verwijsindex per gegevensgroep (bijvoorbeeld medicatiedossier).

Reference information:
Atom operation (Atomische bewerking): "Een bewerking die niet in kleinere bewerkingen kan worden ondeverdeeld. Een dergelijke bewerking kan hetzij niet worden onderbroken of, indien dit toch moch gebeuren, wordt er een techniek verschaft die ervoor zorgt dat het systeem terugkeert naar de toestand van vóór het initiëren van de bewerking."

Reference: Atomic data

Reference information:
"Entity-attribute-value model (EAV), also known as object-attribute-value model and open schema is a data model that is used in circumstances where the number of attributes (properties, parameters) that can be used to describe a thing (an "entity" or "object") is potentially very vast, but the number that will actually apply to a given entity is relatively modest.

To represent substructure, we use a special kind of EAV table where the value column contains references to other entities in the system (i.e., foreign key values into the Objects table). To get all the information on a given object therefore requires a recursive traversal of the metadata, followed by a recursive traversal of the data that would stop when every attribute retrieved was simple<B> (atomic)</B>. Such recursive traversal would be necessary whether details of an individual class were represented in conventional or EAV form; such traversal is performed in standard object-relational systems, for example. In practice, this is not terribly inefficient, simply because the number of levels of recursion tends to be relatively modest for most classes."
