Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the ExampleScenario resource.
ExampleScenario | |||||||||
Element Id | ExampleScenario | ||||||||
Definition | Example of workflow instance. | ||||||||
Cardinality | 0..* | ||||||||
Type | CanonicalResource | ||||||||
Summary | false | ||||||||
Invariants |
| ||||||||
ExampleScenario.url | |||||||||
Element Id | ExampleScenario.url | ||||||||
Definition | An absolute URI that is used to identify this example scenario when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance; also called its canonical identifier. This SHOULD be globally unique and SHOULD be a literal address at which at which an authoritative instance of this example scenario is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the example scenario is stored on different servers. | ||||||||
Cardinality | 0..1 | ||||||||
Type | uri | ||||||||
Requirements | Allows the example scenario to be referenced by a single globally unique identifier. | ||||||||
Summary | true | ||||||||
Comments | Can be a urn:uuid: or a urn:oid: but real http: addresses are preferred. Multiple instances may share the same URL if they have a distinct version. The determination of when to create a new version of a resource (same url, new version) vs. defining a new artifact is up to the author. Considerations for making this decision are found in Technical and Business Versions. In some cases, the resource can no longer be found at the stated url, but the url itself cannot change. Implementations can use the meta.source element to indicate where the current master source of the resource can be found. | ||||||||
ExampleScenario.identifier | |||||||||
Element Id | ExampleScenario.identifier | ||||||||
Definition | A formal identifier that is used to identify this example scenario when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance. | ||||||||
Note | This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion) | ||||||||
Cardinality | 0..* | ||||||||
Type | Identifier | ||||||||
Requirements | Allows externally provided and/or usable business identifiers to be easily associated with the module. | ||||||||
Summary | true | ||||||||
Comments | Typically, this is used for identifiers that can go in an HL7 V3 II (instance identifier) data type, and can then identify this example scenario outside of FHIR, where it is not possible to use the logical URI. | ||||||||
ExampleScenario.version | |||||||||
Element Id | ExampleScenario.version | ||||||||
Definition | The identifier that is used to identify this version of the example scenario when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the example scenario author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence. | ||||||||
Note | This is a business versionId, not a resource version id (see discussion) | ||||||||
Cardinality | 0..1 | ||||||||
Type | string | ||||||||
Summary | true | ||||||||
Comments | There may be different example scenario instances that have the same identifier but different versions. The version can be appended to the url in a reference to allow a reference to a particular business version of the example scenario with the format [url]|[version]. | ||||||||
ExampleScenario.name | |||||||||
Element Id | ExampleScenario.name | ||||||||
Definition | A natural language name identifying the example scenario. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation. | ||||||||
Cardinality | 0..1 | ||||||||
Type | string | ||||||||
Requirements | Support human navigation and code generation. | ||||||||
Summary | true | ||||||||
Comments | The name is not expected to be globally unique. The name should be a simple alphanumeric type name to ensure that it is machine-processing friendly. | ||||||||
Invariants |
| ||||||||
To Do | & A name should be provided unless the value set is a contained resource (e.g. an anonymous value set in a profile). Most registries will require a name. | ||||||||
ExampleScenario.status | |||||||||
Element Id | ExampleScenario.status | ||||||||
Definition | The status of this example scenario. Enables tracking the life-cycle of the content. | ||||||||
Cardinality | 1..1 | ||||||||
Terminology Binding | PublicationStatus (Required) | ||||||||
Type | code | ||||||||

Summary | true | ||||||||
Comments | Allows filtering of example scenarios that are appropriate for use versus not. | ||||||||
ExampleScenario.experimental | |||||||||
Element Id | ExampleScenario.experimental | ||||||||
Definition | A Boolean value to indicate that this example scenario is authored for testing purposes (or education/evaluation/marketing) and is not intended to be used for genuine usage. | ||||||||
Cardinality | 0..1 | ||||||||
Type | boolean | ||||||||
Requirements | Enables experimental content to be developed following the same lifecycle that would be used for a production-level example scenario. | ||||||||

Cardinality | 0..1 | ||||||||
Type | dateTime | ||||||||
Alternate Names | Revision Date | ||||||||
Summary | true | ||||||||

Additional specific dates may be added as extensions or be found by consulting Provenances associated with past versions of the resource. | ||||||||
ExampleScenario.publisher | |||||||||
Element Id | ExampleScenario.publisher | ||||||||
Definition | The name of the organization or individual that published the example scenario. | ||||||||
Cardinality | 0..1 | ||||||||
Type | string | ||||||||
