Workflow Status is used to represent details of the value set development process while the value set has an Activity Status of Preliminary. The development of a value set often follows a formal workflow process from initiation to completion, and this element carries the state variable for this state machine. The assumption is that when first created a value set would have a workflow state of Draft. Additional workflow states may be used.

The values that this element may assume include phrases that capture various stages in review and approval. In addition to the minimum of ???Draft???, these include ???Proposed???, ???Approved???, ???Ready to Publish???. There may be additional states defined by different developers. This is an optional element because the use of Activity Status ???Preliminary??? may be sufficient for some implementations.

unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references).

An Extension

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition should be version specific. This will ideally be the URI for the Resource Profile defining the extension, with the code for the extension after a #.

Value of extension - may be a resource or one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility in the spec for list).
