This value set contains 4 concepts

All codes from system http://hl7.org/fhir/structure-definition-kind

Code	Display	Definition
primitive-type	Primitive Data Type	A data type, which is a primitive type that has a value and an extension. These can be used throughout Resource and extension definitions. Only tbe base specification can define primitive types.
complex-type	Complex Data Type	A data type - either a complex structure that defines a set of data elements. These can be used throughout Resource and extension definitions, and in logical models.
resource	Resource	A resource defined by the FHIR specification.
logical	Logical Model	A logical model - a conceptual package of data that will be mapped to resources for implementation.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level

A 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

Source

The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)

Code

The code (used as the code in the resource instance)

Display

The 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

Definition

An explanation of the meaning of the concept
