Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here.

1. REAL
Definition	Fractional numbers. Typically used whenever quantities are measured, estimated, or computed from other real numbers. The typical representation is decimal, where the number of significant decimal digits is known as the precision. Real numbers are needed beyond integers whenever quantities of the real world are measured, estimated, or computed from other real numbers. The term "Real number" in this specification is used to mean that fractional values are covered without necessarily implying the full set of the mathematical real numbers.
Control	1..*
XML Representation	In the XML format, this property has the namespace `urn:hl7-org:v3`.
2. REAL.value
Control	0..1
Type	decimal
XML Representation	In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute.

Base definition for all types defined in FHIR type system.
Control	10..*
XML Representation	In the XML format, this property has the namespace `urn:hl7-org:v3`.
Invariants	Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
2. REAL.value
Control	0..1
Type	decimal
XML Representation	In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute.
