Definitions for the valueset-otherName extension.
Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here.
| 1. Extension | |
| Definition | Machine readable names for the valueset. Optional Extension Element - found in all resources. |
| 2. Extension.extension:name | |
| SliceName | name |
| Definition | A natural language name identifying the value set. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation. |
| Control | 1..1 |
| Type | Extension |
| Comments | The name is not expected to be globally unique. The name should be a simple alphanumeric type name to ensure that it is machine-processing friendly. A name should be provided unless the value set is a contained resource (e.g. an anonymous value set in a profile). Most registries will require a name. |
| 3. Extension.extension:name.extension | |
| Control | 0..0 |
| 4. Extension.extension:name.url | |
| Control | 0..? |
| Type | uri |
| Fixed Value | name |
| 5. Extension.extension:name.value[x] | |
| Control | 1..? |
| Type | string |
| [x] Note | See Choice of Data Types for further information about how to use [x] |
| 6. Extension.extension:preferred | |
| SliceName | preferred |
| Definition | Flag that this Name in this Name Language is the preferred machine-processing friendly signifier in this language. |
| Control | 0..1 |
| Type | Extension |
| Comments | There may be multiple machine-processing friendly names in a given language, and this flag indicates which of them is preferred for the given language. |
| 7. Extension.extension:preferred.extension | |
| Control | 0..0 |
| 8. Extension.extension:preferred.url | |
| Control | 0..? |
| Type | uri |
| Fixed Value | preferred |
| 9. Extension.extension:preferred.value[x] | |
| Control | 1..? |

Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here.
| 1. Extension | |
| Definition | Machine readable names for the valueset. Optional Extension Element - found in all resources. |
| Control | 0..* |
| Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (: extension.exists() != value.exists()) |
| 2. Extension.extension:name | |
| SliceName | name |
| Definition | A natural language name identifying the value set. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation. May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. |
| Control | 10..1* |
| Type | Extension |
| Summary | false |
| Alternate Names | extensions, user content |
| Comments | The name is not expected to be globally unique. The name should be a simple alphanumeric type name to ensure that it is machine-processing friendly. A name should be provided unless the value set is a contained resource (e.g. an anonymous value set in a profile). Most registries will require a name. There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. |
| Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (: extension.exists() != value.exists()) |
| 3. Extension.extension:name.extension | |
| Definition | An Extension May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. |
