CodeDisplayDefinition
literalLiteral ReferencesThe server supports and populates Literal references where they are known (this code does not guarantee that all references are literal; see 'enforced')
logicalLogical ReferencesThe server allows logical references
resolvesResolves ReferencesThe server will attempt to resolve logical references to literal references (if resolution fails, the server may still accept resources; see logical)
enforcedReference Integrity EnforcedThe server enforces that references have integrity - e.g. it ensures that references can always be resolved. This is typically the case for clinical record systems, but often not the case for middleware/proxy systems
localLocal References OnlyThe server does not support references that point to other servers

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

LevelA few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
SourceThe source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
CodeThe code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')
DisplayThe 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
