This value set is used in the following places:

4.4.1.564.1 Definition

Indicates the mechanism used to compare versions to determine which is more current.

4.4.1.564.2 Content Logical Definition

 

4.4.1.564.3 Expansion

This expansion generated 26 Mar 2023

This value set contains 5 concepts

Expansion based on Version Algorithm v5.0.0 (CodeSystem)

CodeSystemDisplayDefinition
  semverhttp://hl7.org/fhir/version-algorithmSemVer

Uses the semantic versioning scheme as defined in semver.org icon.

  integerhttp://hl7.org/fhir/version-algorithmInteger

Versions are integers and ordered numerically

  alphahttp://hl7.org/fhir/version-algorithmAlphabetical

Simple alphabetic sort on a case-insensitive and accent-insensitive basis. (Sorting of different cases or accented versions of a character is indeterminate)

  datehttp://hl7.org/fhir/version-algorithmDate

Versions are expressed as an ISO date/time syntax (including syntaxes with only portions of a date)

  naturalhttp://hl7.org/fhir/version-algorithmNatural

Sorted according to the algorithm defined here: naturalordersort.org icon

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

LvlA 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
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
DefinitionAn explanation of the meaning of the concept
CommentsAdditional notes about how to use the code
