1.22.2.1.1161 Value Set for codes in http://hl7.org/fhir/structure-definition-type

This is a value set defined by the FHIR project.

Summary

Code System URL:http://hl7.org/fhir/structure-definition-type
Value Set URL:http://hl7.org/fhir/vs/structure-definition-type
Definition:Defines the type of structure that a definition is describing

Formal value Set definition : XML or JSON.

This value set defines its own codes:

This value set contains 5 concepts

1.22.2.1.1161.1 StructureDefinitionType

Defines the type of structure that a definition is describing

This value set defines its own terms in the system http://hl7.org/fhir/structure-definition-type

CodeDisplayDefinition
abstract Abstract typeAn abstract Type. Structure Definitions for abstract types are provided for structural completeness, and to support functions such as code generation.
type Data TypeA data type - either a primitive or complex structure that defines a set of data elements. These can be used throughout Resource and extension definitions.
resource ResourceA resource defined by the FHIR specification.
constraint Constrained TypeA set of constraints on a resource or data type that describe how it is used for a particular use.
extension Extension DefinitionA definition of an extension that can be used in a FHIR resource (or a set of constraints on an exsting extension).

This value set is used in the following places:

Code System OID:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.1.1161
Value Set OID:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.2.1161
Note: these OIDs are not used in FHIR, but may be used in v3, or OID based terminology systems

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

LevelA few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
SourceThe source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
CodeThe code (used as the code in the resource instance)
DisplayThe display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
DefinitionAn explanation of the meaning of the concept
CommentsAdditional notes about how to use the code

In addition, this page will include mappings to HL7 v2 or HL7 v3 code where these have been defined.
