Extension: targetPath

FHIR Infrastructure Work Group

Maturity Level: 1

Trial Use

Use Context: Any

Official URL: `http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/targetPath`				Version: 5.0.0-snapshot3
draft as of 2015-02-28				Computable Name: targetPath
Flags: Non-Modifier				OID: TBD

Context of Use: Use on Element ID Reference or Element ID canonical

Definition

Indicates that the reference has a particular focus in the target resource, a particular element of interest, identified by a FHIRPath statement. The FHIRPath expression is limited to a the simple subset with the additional limitation that .resolve() that is not allowed.

Comment:

This extension can be used when the target element has no explicit id associated with it. When there is an id on the telement of interest, the extension http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/targetPath can be used since it is much simpler to implement.
