Extension Object Class Property - Detailed Descriptions

Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the extension.

Extension
Definition	A quality common to all members of an object class. A property may be any feature that humans naturally use to distinguish one individual object from another. It is the human perception of a single quality of an object class in the real world. It is conceptual and thus has no particular associated means of representation by which the property can be communicated.
Control	0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Comments	ObjectClass and Property are treated as a data model that can be mapped to like any other. This extension merely captures the Property element as a discrete code. The information conveyed here should also be conveyed in human-readable form in the mapping.map element.
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

Type	Extension
Extension.url
Definition	Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

Type	uri

Fixed Value	http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/11179-objectClassProperty
Extension.valueCoding
Definition	Value of extension - may be a resource or one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility in the spec for list).
