Extension Who has used and how? - Detailed Descriptions

Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the extension.

Extension
Definition	Consumers of the value set and the implementations, projects or standards that the author has utilized the value set in.
Control	0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Comments	This is likely to be a ???point in time??? view and should not be considered an authoritative listing of all uses of the value set.
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(user)
Definition	This is most likely to be an organization but can be an individual. It would not be a program, that information should be recorded in the usage.use.
Control	1..1
Type	Extension
Extension.extension.id

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.
