0. Extension
Definition	R5: `DocumentReference.content.profile` (new:BackboneElement) Optional Extension Element - found in all resources.
Short	R5: Content profile rules for the document (new)Optional Extensions Element
Comments	Element `DocumentReference.content.profile` has a context of DocumentReference.content based on following the parent source element upwards and mapping to `DocumentReference`. Element `DocumentReference.content.profile` has a context of Media.content based on following the parent source element upwards and mapping to `Media`. Element `DocumentReference.content.profile` has no mapping targets in FHIR R4. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element). Note that IHE often issues URNs for formatCode codes, not all documents can be identified by a URI. For FHIR content, .profile should indicate the structureDefinition profile canonical URI(s) that the content complies with.
Control	0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Is Modifier	false
Invariants	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()`) 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
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 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.
Short	ExtensionAdditional content defined by implementations
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.
Control	10..*

Slicing	This element introduces a set of slices on `Extension.extension`. The slices areUnordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators: value @ url
4. Extension.extension:value

Short	R5: Code\|uri\|canonical (new)Additional content defined by implementations
Comments	Element `DocumentReference.content.profile.value[x]` is part of an existing definition because parent element `DocumentReference.content.profile` requires a cross-version extension. Element `DocumentReference.content.profile.value[x]` has a context of DocumentReference.content based on following the parent source element upwards and mapping to `DocumentReference`. Element `DocumentReference.content.profile.value[x]` has a context of Media.content based on following the parent source element upwards and mapping to `Media`. Element `DocumentReference.content.profile.value[x]` has no mapping targets in FHIR R4. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element).
