4.4.1.613.2 Expansion

This expansion generated 10 Sep 2022

This value set contains 5 concepts

Expansion based on Version Algorithm v5.0.0-ballot (CodeSystem)

Code	System	Display	Definition
semver	http://hl7.org/fhir/version-algorithm	SemVer	Uses the semantic versioning scheme as defined in semver.org .
integer	http://hl7.org/fhir/version-algorithm	Integer	Versions are integers and ordered numerically
alpha	http://hl7.org/fhir/version-algorithm	Alphabetical	Simple alphabetic sort on a case-insensitive and accent-insensitive basis. (Sorting of different cases or accented versions of a character is indeterminate)
date	http://hl7.org/fhir/version-algorithm	Date	Versions are expressed as an ISO date/time syntax (including syntaxes with only portions of a date)
natural	http://hl7.org/fhir/version-algorithm	Natural	Sorted according to the algorithm defined here: naturalordersort.org

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Lvl

A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information

Source

The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)

Code

The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')

Display

The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application

Definition

An explanation of the meaning of the concept
