Extension Associates the structure definition with a collection of Data Elements - Detailed Descriptions

Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the extension.

Extension
Definition	This extension associates a structure definition with a data dictionary - a collection of data elements that any instance of data that conforms to the structure definition must also conform to. The value of the extension is a uri the defines a query that identifies the collection of relevant data elements This extension can be used on any structure definition that is a constraint on the resource types Observation and Questionnaire. THe profile specifies which elements are mandatory etc., but any elements in a resource that conforms to the structure definition must also conform to one of the defined data elements. For Observation: * Observation.code must be associated with a matching Data Element by DataElement.code. * The structure definition should bind Observation.code to a value set that has the same codes as the collection of data elements (though it can be narrower) * the unit and the quantity value should conform to the rules laid down in the matching Data Element For Questionnaire: * todo.
Control	0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Comments	The query can select a set of data element resources, or identify a bundle that is a collection of data elements.
Invariants	Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (xpath: @value\|f:\|h:div) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (xpath: exists(f:extension)!=exists(f:[starts-with(local-name(.), 'value')]))
Extension.id
Definition	unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
Control	0..1
Type	string
Extension.extension(extension)
Definition	An Extension
Control	0..0
Type	Extension
Extension.url
Definition	Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.
Control	1..1
