4.2.12.636.2 XPathUsageType

How a search parameter relates to the set of elements returned by evaluating its xpath query.

This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/search-xpath-usage defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
normal NormalThe search parameter is derived directly from the selected nodes based on the type definitions.
phonetic PhoneticThe search parameter is derived by a phonetic transform from the selected nodes.
nearby NearbyThe search parameter is based on a spatial transform of the selected nodes.
distance DistanceThe search parameter is based on a spatial transform of the selected nodes, using physical distance from the middle.
other OtherThe interpretation of the xpath statement is unknown (and can't be automated).
