This Code system is used in the following value sets:

4.2.12.669.1 Content

4.2.12.669.2 StructureDefinitionKind

Defines the type of structure that a definition is describing.

This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/structure-definition-kind defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
primitive-type Primitive Data TypeA primitive type that has a value and an extension. These can be used throughout Resource and extension definitions. Only the base specification can define primitive types.
complex-type Complex Data TypeA complex structure that defines a set of data elements. These can be used throughout Resource and extension definitions, and in logical models.
resource ResourceA resource defined by the FHIR specification.
logical Logical ModelA conceptual package of data that will be mapped to resources for implementation.

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. 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
