Mapping from http://hl7.org/fhir/3.0 to http://hl7.org/fhir/4.3
Group 1 Mapping from http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/StructureDefinition|3.0.2 to StructureDefinitionversion: 4.3.0)
| Source Code | Relationship | Target Code | Comment |
| StructureDefinition.meta (meta) | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.meta | Element `StructureDefinition.meta` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.meta` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.meta` do not cover the following types: Meta. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.meta` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: lastUpdated, profile, security, tag, versionId. |
| StructureDefinition.implicitRules (implicitRules) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.implicitRules | Element `StructureDefinition.implicitRules` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.implicitRules` as `Equivalent`. Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. This element is labelled as a modifier because the implicit rules may provide additional knowledge about the resource that modifies it's meaning or interpretation. |
| StructureDefinition.language (language) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.language | Element `StructureDefinition.language` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.language` as `Equivalent`. Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute). |
| StructureDefinition.text (text) | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.text | Element `StructureDefinition.text` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.text` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.text` do not cover the following types: Narrative. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.text` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: div, status. Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded in formation is added later. |
| StructureDefinition.contained (contained) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.contained | Element `StructureDefinition.contained` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.contained` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. |
| StructureDefinition.url (url) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.url | Element `StructureDefinition.url` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.url` as `Equivalent`. Can be a urn:uuid: or a urn:oid:, but real http: addresses are preferred. Multiple instances may share the same url if they have a distinct version. |
| StructureDefinition.identifier (identifier) | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.identifier | Element `StructureDefinition.identifier` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.identifier` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.identifier` do not cover the following types: Identifier. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.identifier` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: assigner, period, system, type, use, value. Typically, this is used for identifiers that can go in an HL7 V3 II (instance identifier) data type, e.g., to identify this structure definition outside of FHIR, where it is not possible to use the logical URI. |
| StructureDefinition.version (version) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.version | Element `StructureDefinition.version` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.version` as `Equivalent`. There may be different structure definition instances that have the same identifier but different versions. The version can be appended to the url in a reference to allow a refrence to a particular business version of the structure definition with the format [url]|[version]. |
| StructureDefinition.name (name) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.name | Element `StructureDefinition.name` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.name` as `Equivalent`. The name is not expected to be globally unique. The name should be a simple alpha-numeric type name to ensure that it is computable friendly. |
| StructureDefinition.title (title) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.title | Element `StructureDefinition.title` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.title` as `Equivalent`. This name does not need to be machine-processing friendly and may contain punctuation, white-space, etc. Applications don't have to use this name, but can always fall back to it. The title also corresponds to the label for the root element. |
| StructureDefinition.status (status) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.status | Element `StructureDefinition.status` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.status` as `Equivalent`. Allows filtering of structure definitions that are appropriate for use vs. not. This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not use a retired structure definition without due consideration. |
| StructureDefinition.experimental (experimental) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.experimental | Element `StructureDefinition.experimental` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.experimental` as `Equivalent`. Allows filtering of structure definition that are appropriate for use vs. not. This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not use an experimental structure definition in production. |
| StructureDefinition.date (date) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.date | Element `StructureDefinition.date` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.date` as `Equivalent`. Note that this is not the same as the resource last-modified-date, since the resource may be a secondary representation of the structure definition. Additional specific dates may be added as extensions or be found by consulting Provenances associated with past versions of the resource. |
| StructureDefinition.publisher (publisher) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.publisher | Element `StructureDefinition.publisher` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.publisher` as `Equivalent`. Usually an organization, but may be an individual. The publisher (or steward) of the structure definition is the organization or individual primarily responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the structure definition. This is not necessarily the same individual or organization that developed and initially authored the content. The publisher is the primary point of contact for questions or issues with the structure definition. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context. |
| StructureDefinition.contact (contact) | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.contact | Element `StructureDefinition.contact` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.contact` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.contact` do not cover the following types: ContactDetail. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.contact` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: name, telecom. May be a web site, an email address, a telephone number, etc. |
| StructureDefinition.description (description) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.description | Element `StructureDefinition.description` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.description` as `Equivalent`. This description can be used to capture details such as why the structure definition was built, comments about misuse, instructions for clinical use and interpretation, literature references, examples from the paper world, etc. It is not a rendering of the structure definition as conveyed in the 'text' field of the resource itself. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context (e.g. the language of the profile is presumed to be the predominant language in the place the profile was created). |
| StructureDefinition.useContext (useContext) | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.useContext | Element `StructureDefinition.useContext` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.useContext` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.useContext` do not cover the following types: UsageContext. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.useContext` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: code, value[x]. When multiple useContexts are specified, there is no expectation whether all or any of the contexts apply. |
| StructureDefinition.jurisdiction (jurisdiction) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.jurisdiction | Element `StructureDefinition.jurisdiction` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.jurisdiction` as `Equivalent`. It may be possible for the structure definition to be used in jurisdictions other than those for which it was originally designed or intended. |
| StructureDefinition.purpose (purpose) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.purpose | Element `StructureDefinition.purpose` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.purpose` as `Equivalent`. This element does not describe the usage of the structure definition Instead it provides traceability of ''why'' the resource is either needed or ''why'' it is defined as it is. This may be used to point to source materials or specifications that drove the structure of this structure definition. |
| StructureDefinition.copyright (copyright) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.copyright | Element `StructureDefinition.copyright` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.copyright` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.keyword (keyword) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.keyword | Element `StructureDefinition.keyword` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.keyword` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.fhirVersion (fhirVersion) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.fhirVersion | Element `StructureDefinition.fhirVersion` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.fhirVersion` as `SourceIsNarrowerThanTarget`. A StructureDefinition does not need to specify the target it applies to,as StructureDefinitions will often be valid across multiple versions of FHIR. FHIR tooling can determine whether a StructureDefinition is consistent with a particular StructureDefinition if desired. |
| StructureDefinition.mapping (mapping) | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.mapping | Element `StructureDefinition.mapping` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.mapping` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.mapping.identity (identity) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.mapping.identity | Element `StructureDefinition.mapping.identity` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.mapping.identity` as `Equivalent`. The specification is described once, with general comments, and then specific mappings are made that reference this declaration. |
| StructureDefinition.mapping.uri (uri) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.mapping.uri | Element `StructureDefinition.mapping.uri` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.mapping.uri` as `Equivalent`. A formal identity for the specification being mapped to helps with identifying maps consistently. |
| StructureDefinition.mapping.name (name) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.mapping.name | Element `StructureDefinition.mapping.name` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.mapping.name` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.mapping.comment (comment) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.mapping.comment | Element `StructureDefinition.mapping.comment` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.mapping.comment` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.kind (kind) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.kind | Element `StructureDefinition.kind` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.kind` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.abstract (abstract) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.abstract | Element `StructureDefinition.abstract` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.abstract` as `Equivalent`. Abstract Resources cannot be instantiated - a concrete sub-type must be used. Abstract datatypes and extensions cannot be used in an instance. For logical models, the exact implication of "abstract" will rest with the author, depending how the logical model is used. Flagging a constraint structure as abstract conveys design intent but makes no difference to how the structure definition is handled. Note that inline declared elements that are given the type "Element" in the profile, but have children described, are anonymous concrete types that specialise Element. |
| StructureDefinition.contextType (contextType) | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.context.expression | Element `StructureDefinition.contextType` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.context.expression` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.context (context) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.context.expression | Element `StructureDefinition.context` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.context.expression` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. If the context is an element that can have multiple types, then use (e.g.) value[x] if the extension works on all choice types, or otherwise an enumeration of explicitly named elements if not. Note that a context of "string" doesn't mean that the extension can be used with one of the string patterns such as "id" etc. |
| StructureDefinition.contextInvariant (contextInvariant) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.contextInvariant | Element `StructureDefinition.contextInvariant` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.contextInvariant` as `Equivalent`. All the rules must be true. When evaluating the invariant, the fluentpath focus is the element that holds the extension, and %extension refers to the extension itself. |
| StructureDefinition.type (type) | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.type | Element `StructureDefinition.type` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.type` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.type` do not cover the following types: code. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.type` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: value. Note that in the case of constraints, the type could be determined by chasing through the baseDefinition references until a concrete structure (derivation = specialization) is reached, or by looking at the path of the first element in the snapshot - if present - but providing the type directly makes for simpler tooling and indexing. |
| StructureDefinition.baseDefinition (baseDefinition) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.baseDefinition | Element `StructureDefinition.baseDefinition` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.baseDefinition` as `Equivalent`. If differential constraints are specified in this structure, they are applied to the base in a "differential" fashion. If there is no base, then the differential constraints cannot be provided (snapshot only). Differential structures are useful for the editing perspective, and snapshot structures are suitable for operational use. The FHIR Project provides a number of tools/services to populate snapshots from differential constraints. Logical Models have a base of "Element" or another logical model. |
| StructureDefinition.derivation (derivation) | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.derivation | Element `StructureDefinition.derivation` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.derivation` as `Equivalent`. If the definition is a specialization, then it adds new elements in the differential, and the snapshot includes the inherited elements. If the definition is a constraint, then it can not define new elements, it can only make new rules about existing content (see [Profiling Resources](https://hl7.org/fhir/profiling..html#resources)). |
| StructureDefinition.snapshot (snapshot) | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.snapshot | Element `StructureDefinition.snapshot` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.snapshot` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.snapshot.element (element) | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.snapshot.element | Element `StructureDefinition.snapshot.element` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.snapshot.element` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.snapshot.element` do not cover the following types: ElementDefinition. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.snapshot.element` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: aggregation, alias, base, binding, code, comment, condition, constraint, contentReference, defaultValue[x], definition, description, discriminator, example, expression, fixed[x], human, identity, isModifier, isSummary, key, label, language, map, mapping, max, maxLength, maxValue[x], meaningWhenMissing, min, minValue[x], mustSupport, ordered, orderMeaning, path, pattern[x], profile, representation, requirements, rules, severity, short, sliceName, slicing, source, strength, targetProfile, type, value[x], valueSet[x], versioning, xpath. |
| StructureDefinition.differential (differential) | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.differential | Element `StructureDefinition.differential` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.differential` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.differential.element (element) | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.differential.element | Element `StructureDefinition.differential.element` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.differential.element` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.differential.element` do not cover the following types: ElementDefinition. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.differential.element` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: aggregation, alias, base, binding, code, comment, condition, constraint, contentReference, defaultValue[x], definition, description, discriminator, example, expression, fixed[x], human, identity, isModifier, isSummary, key, label, language, map, mapping, max, maxLength, maxValue[x], meaningWhenMissing, min, minValue[x], mustSupport, ordered, orderMeaning, path, pattern[x], profile, representation, requirements, rules, severity, short, sliceName, slicing, source, strength, targetProfile, type, value[x], valueSet[x], versioning, xpath. |

The mappings for `StructureDefinition.text` do not cover the following types: Narrative. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.text` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: div, status. Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied).

The mappings for `StructureDefinition.identifier` do not cover the following types: Identifier. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.identifier` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: assigner, period, system, type, use, value. Typically, this is used for identifiers that can go in an HL7 V3 II (instance identifier) data type, e.g., to identify this structure definition outside of FHIR, where it is not possible to use the logical URI. |

The mappings for `StructureDefinition.useContext` do not cover the following types: UsageContext. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.useContext` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: code, value[x].
