5.5 Resource StructureMap - Content

FHIR Infrastructure Work GroupMaturity Level: 0Compartments: Not linked to any defined compartments

A Map of relationships between 2 structures that can be used to transform data.

The StructureMap resource defines a detailed set of of rules that describe how one Structure is related to another, and provides sufficient detail to allow for autoamted conversion of instances.

The intention of the structure map resource is to allow a specialist in a formats and interoperability to specify the full relationships between two structures (e.g. a CDA document and a set of FHIR resources), and then many different systems - both testing and production clinical systems - can leverage that to automatically transform from one format to the other.

Maps are uni-directional: they map from the source structure to the target structure, and no reverse map is implied. Even if the mapping is simple, and loss-less, it cannot be assumed that there are no conditions that might additionally apply in the reverse direction.

The mapping language, along with a concrete syntax, is defined in detail in the FHIR Mappping Language, which defines a concrete syntax for the language. The StructureMap resource represents the abstract syntax, and the concrete syntax is the recommended narrative representation for a StructureMap. See also the Tutorial.

Note that many mappings between models only establish conceptual equivalence between the structures. These models are useful because they quickly convey how the structures are related to humans, whereas more maps with sufficient detail to support instance transformation are necessarily full of fine detail that can obscure the conceptual relationships. The ConceptMap resource is suitable for representing high level relationships between models, while this StructureMap resource is intended to describe the full details that need to be known in order to transform an instance of data from one structure to another.

The StructureMap resource assumes that both the source and the target models are fully defined using StructureDefinition resources - either resources, or logical models, and is described accordingly. However there is no direct relationship between the mapping language contained in the StructureMap resource, and the existence of the appropriate structure definitions, so that this mapping language could be used to define a map from an HL7 v2 message to a CDA document. Note, that various implementation contexts may introduce a direct relationship (e.g. see xxxxxxx op to defined).

It's possible to apply the mapping language to structures that do not even have (or cannot have) formally defined types, though of course the type-related parts of the mapping language cannot be used in these cases.

Each structure map contains, in addition to the standard metadata that all conformance resoures contain, the following information:

  • A list of the structure definitions referenced by the map
  • A list of other structure maps that the map uses
  • One or more groups of rules that describe how content in the source is transformed to content in the target

Each group of rules defines a set of input and output variables that must be passed when the group is invoked in a particular context. When a gruop is invoked, all the rules in the group are checked to see whether they apply.

Each rule may has some or all of the following properties:

  • A name - used as the identity in internal references, and traces
  • Contexts in both source and traget models that define where the rule applies
  • A set of source elements that provide data to be mapped
  • Conditions that specify if the rule is to apply
  • A set of target elements that will be created
  • Transform rules that describe how raw data is converted from the source format to the target format (e.g. string manipulation)
  • Flags for how instances that can repeat are handled
  • Additional rules that apply to the newly created elements (e.g. new contexts)

The mapping language is entirely declarative; there is no imperative or procedural aspects to the definitions.

StructureMap (DomainResource)An absolute URL that is used to identify this structure map when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance. This SHALL be a URL, SHOULD be globally unique, and SHOULD be an address at which this structure map is (or will be) published. The URL SHOULD include the major version of the structure map.

  • smp-1: On StructureMap.group.rule.target: Can only have a element if you have a context (expression on StructureMap.group.rule.target: element.exists() implies context.exists())
  • smp-2: On StructureMap.group.rule.target: Must have a contextType if you have a context (expression on StructureMap.group.rule.target: context.exists() implies contextType.exists())
