A formal identifier that is used to identify this {{title}} when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance.

Typically, this is used for identifiers that can go in an HL7 V3 II (instance identifier) data type, and can then identify this {{title}} outside of FHIR, where it is not possible to use the logical URI.

Context of Use: Use on Element ID Element
