Control0..1

CommentsUsing absolute URLs provides a stable scalable approach suitable for a cloud/web context, while using relative/logical references provides a flexible approach suitable for use when trading across closed eco-system boundaries. Absolute URLs do not need to point to a FHIR RESTful server, though this is the preferred approach
RIM MappingN/A
ResourceReference.version
DefinitionA literal URL that resolves to the location of a particular version of the resource. The URL may be relative or absolute. Relative Ids contain the logical version id of the resource.
Control0..1
Typeuri
CommentsVersion Specific references are generally used for audit trail purposes, or when building attested content. The uniqueness of the version id may be scoped by the logical id
RIM MappingN/A
ResourceReference.display
DefinitionPlain text narrative that identifies the resource in addition to the resource reference
Control0..1
Typestring
CommentsThis is generally not the same as the Resource.text of the referenced resource. The purpose is to identify what's being referenced, not to fully describe it.
