Extension The absolute geographic location - Detailed Descriptions

Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the extension.

Extension
Definition	The absolute geographic location of the Location, expressed using the WGS84 datum (This is the same co-ordinate system used in KML).
Control	0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Comments	The extension can be further extended to include unique geolocation identifiers, confidence, altitude, etc.
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
Definition	An Extension
Control	0..*
Type	Extension
Slicing	This element introduces a set of slices. The slicing rules are: unordered Open discriminators: url
Extension.extension(latitude)
Definition	Latitude. The value domain and the interpretation are the same as for the text of the latitude element in KML (see notes below).
Control	1..1
Type	Extension
Extension.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(extension)
Definition	An Extension
Control	0..0
Type	Extension
Extension.extension.url
Definition	Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.
Control	1..1
Type	uri
Comments	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 SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.
Fixed Value	latitude
Extension.extension.valueDecimal
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).
Control	1..1
Type	decimal
Extension.extension(longitude)
Definition	Longitude. The value domain and the interpretation are the same as for the text of the longitude element in KML (see notes below).
Control	1..1
Type	Extension
Extension.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(extension)
Definition	An Extension
Control	0..0
Type	Extension
Extension.extension.url

Control	1..1
Type	uri
Comments	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 SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.
Fixed Value	http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/geolocation
Extension.value[x]
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).
Control	0..0
Type	Choice of: base64Binary, boolean, code, date, dateTime, decimal, id, instant, integer, markdown, oid, positiveInt, string, time, unsignedInt, uri, Address, Age, Annotation, Attachment, CodeableConcept, Coding, ContactPoint, Count, Distance, Duration, HumanName, Identifier, Money, Period, Quantity, Range, Ratio, Reference, SampledData, Signature, Timing, Meta
