value="This example of a ComparatorDefinition Profile expresses the definition of a group by the combination of meeting both (all of) two characteristics by using the 'all-of' code in the combinationMethod element. Each of the two characteristics in this example are defined by reference to another Group Resource, so the characteristic.code element has a value of text:'Defined by Reference' and uses a valueReference element."/>
