Definitions for the us-core-race extension.

1. Extension
Definition	Concepts classifying the person into a named category of humans sharing common history, traits, geographical origin or nationality. The race codes used to represent these concepts are based upon the CDC Race and Ethnicity Code Set Version 1.0 which includes over 900 concepts for representing race and ethnicity of which 921 reference race. The race concepts are grouped by and pre-mapped to the 5 OMB race categories: American Indian or Alaska Native Asian Black or African American Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander White.
Control	0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
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.id
Definition	Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
Control	0..1
Type	string
3. Extension.extension
Definition	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 manageable, 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	0..*
Type	Extension
Alternate Names	extensions, user content
Comments	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())
Slicing	This element introduces a set of slices on Extension.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators: value @ url
4. Extension.extension:ombCategory
SliceName	ombCategory

5. Extension.extension:ombCategory.id
Definition	Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
Control	0..1
Type	string
