      <p>This profile defines the expected capabilities of the 
        <i>SDC Data Element Manager</i> role when conforming to the S&amp;I Framework's 
        <a href="sdc.html">Structured Data Capture FHIR implementation guide</a>.  This role is responsible for defining maintaining a repository of data elements used
         in designing forms, profiles and templates in support of SDC use-cases, including the
         pre-population and auto-population of forms.

      <p>The primary focus of the repository is the definition of 
        <a href="../dataelement.html">DataElement</a>s.  However, 
        <a href="../valueset.html">ValueSet</a>s must also be supported to allow definition of coded data elements.  Some data elements
         will choose to maintain value sets as 'contained' resources, meaning the value set exists
         only in the context of the data element and cannot be referenced or maintained without
         also updating the data element.  However, systems should support value set re-use across
         data elements.  (Version-specific referencing can be used to avoid value sets from changing
         independent of the referencing
