4.8.23.7 StructureDefinition: PublishableCodeSystem

Terminology Infrastructure icon Work Group Maturity Level: 0Trial Use Use Context: Any

The canonical URL for this profile is: 

http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/publishablecodesystem

Defines and enforces the minimum expectations for publication and distribution of a code system, typically as part of an artifact repository or implementation guide publication

Note to Implementers: All of the shareable, publishable, computable, and executable profiles will be migrating to the new Canonical Resource Management icon implementation guide as part of the next FHIR release. Implementers are encouraged to look there for updates, corrections and clarifications.
