        <p> Translate a code from one value set to another, based on the existing value set and concept
           maps resources, and/or other additional knowledge available to the server.</p> 

        <p> One (and only one) of the in parameters (code, coding, codeableConcept) must be provided,
           to identify the code that is to be translated.</p> 

        <p> The operation returns a set of parameters including a 'result' for whether there is an
           acceptable match, and a list of possible matches. Note that the list of matches may include
           notes of codes for which mapping is specifically excluded (i.e. 'not-related-to'), so
           implementers have to check the target.relationship for each match.</p>

  <description value="Translate a code from one value set to another, based on the existing value set and concept
   maps resources, and/or other additional knowledge available to the server. 

 One (and only one) of the in parameters (code, coding, codeableConcept) must be provided,
   to identify the code that is to be translated.  

 The operation returns a set of parameters including a 'result' for whether there is an
   acceptable match, and a list of possible matches. Note that the list of matches may include
   notes of codes for which mapping is specifically excluded (i.e. 'not-related-to'), so
   implementers have to check the target.relationship for each match."/>
