Alternatively, We could have used an OID, or a UUID note that since we give a literal URL here, there's an expectation that accessing that URL will give some form of representation of the full code system, or a pointer about how to get more information. This is not an absolute requirement, but it may be enforced by some servers - for instance, the HL7 valueset registry will. --> <url value="http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/example"/> <!-- an imaginary identifier. This is a non FHIR identifier - might be used in a v2 context (though you always need to translate namespaces for v2) --> <identifier> <system value="urn:ietf:rfc:3986"/> <value value="urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.4.1827"/> </identifier> <identifier> <system value="http://acme.com/identifiers/codesystems"/> <value value="internal-cholesterol-inl"/> </identifier> <!-- for version, we are going to simply use the day of publication.

And it can be the cause of operational or clinical safety problems. So FHIR requires that it always be specified. --> <caseSensitive value="true"/> <content value="complete"/> <!-- filter: Code Systems can define filters that value sets can use to select sets of codes. Note that value sets can also use properties (see, e.g. the valueset-example-supplement example) and this is always preferred because anything asserted as a filter in the code system will need custom code to make it work. For this reason, filters are generally only defined in high value published code systems (unlike this extremely low value example) --> <filter> <code value="acme-plasma"/> <description value="An internal filter used to select codes that are only used with plasma"/> <operator value="="/> <value value="the value of this filter is either 'true' or 'false'"/> </filter> <!-- ACME's defined definitions.

Usage note: every effort has been made to ensure that the examples are correct and useful, but they are not a normative part of the specification.
