Expansion based on Version Algorithm v5.0.0-snapshot3 (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 |
Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
