<description value="Generates a [StructureDefinition](structuredefinition.html) instance with a snapshot,
based on a differential in a specified [StructureDefinition](structuredefinition.html).
If the operation is not called at the instance level, either *definition* or *url*
'in' parameters must be provided. If more than one is specified, servers may raise
an error or may resolve with the parameter of their choice. If called at the instance
level, these parameters will be ignored."/>
