# description
The capabilityStatement for the NDOP FHIR server. 

# purpose
To control the behaviour of the NDOP FHIR server.

# snapshot.element[].definition
A Capability Statement documents a set of capabilities (behaviors) of a FHIR Server that may be used as a statement of actual server functionality or a statement of required or desired server implementation.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain nested Resources

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain any narrative

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a meta.versionId or a meta.lastUpdated

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL be referred to from elsewhere in the resource

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
There can only be one REST declaration per mode.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
The set of documents must be unique by the combination of profile and mode.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
Capability Statements of kind 'instance' do not have implementation elements.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].expression
implementation.empty() or kind != 'capability'

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
Messaging end-point is required (and is only permitted) when a statement is for an implementation.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].expression
messaging.endpoint.empty() or kind = 'instance'

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
Capability Statements of kind 'requirements' do not have software or implementation elements.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].expression
(software.empty() and implementation.empty()) or kind != 'requirements'

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
A Capability Statement SHALL have at least one of description, software, or implementation element.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].expression
(description.count() + software.count() + implementation.count()) > 0

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].xpath
count(f:software | f:implementation | f:description) > 0

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
A Capability Statement SHALL have at least one of REST, messaging or document element.

# snapshot.element[].definition
The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

# snapshot.element[].comment
The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].expression
hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

# snapshot.element[].definition
The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content may not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].expression
hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

# snapshot.element[].short
A set of rules under which this content was created

# snapshot.element[].definition
A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. 

This element is labelled as a modifier because the implicit rules may provide additional knowledge about the resource that modifies it's meaning or interpretation.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].expression
hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

# snapshot.element[].definition
The base language in which the resource is written.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies  to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource  Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].expression
hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

# snapshot.element[].short
Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation

# snapshot.element[].definition
A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource, and may be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied).  This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded in formation is added later.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].expression
hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

# snapshot.element[].definition
These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

# snapshot.element[].comment
This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again.

# snapshot.element[].slicing.description
Extensions are always sliced by (at least) url

# snapshot.element[].short
Additional Content defined by implementations

# snapshot.element[].definition
May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. In order 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 is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

# snapshot.element[].comment
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.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].expression

# snapshot.element[].slicing.description
Extensions are always sliced by (at least) url

# snapshot.element[].definition
May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource, and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. In order 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 is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

# snapshot.element[].short
Logical URI to reference this capability statement (globally unique)

# snapshot.element[].definition
An absolute URI that is used to identify this capability statement when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance. This SHALL be a URL, SHOULD be globally unique, and SHOULD be an address at which this capability statement is (or will be) published. The URL SHOULD include the major version of the capability statement. For more information see [Technical and Business Versions](resource.html#versions).

# snapshot.element[].comment
Can be a urn:uuid: or a urn:oid:, but real http: addresses are preferred.  Multiple instances may share the same url if they have a distinct version.

# snapshot.element[].requirements
Allows the capability statement to be referenced by a single globally unique identifier.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].expression
hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

# snapshot.element[].short
Business version of the capability statement

# snapshot.element[].definition
The identifier that is used to identify this version of the capability statement when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the capability statement author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence.

# snapshot.element[].comment
There may be different capability statement instances that have the same identifier but different versions.  The version can be appended to the url in a reference to allow a refrence to a particular business version of the capability statement with the format [url]|[version].

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].expression
hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

# snapshot.element[].short
Name for this capability statement (computer friendly)

# snapshot.element[].definition
A natural language name identifying the capability statement. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation.

# snapshot.element[].comment
The name is not expected to be globally unique. The name should be a simple alpha-numeric type name to ensure that it is computable friendly.

# snapshot.element[].requirements
Support human navigation and code generation.

Name for this capability statement (human friendly)

# snapshot.element[].definition
A short, descriptive, user-friendly title for the capability statement.

# snapshot.element[].comment
This name does not need to be machine-processing friendly and may contain punctuation, white-space, etc.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].expression
hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

# snapshot.element[].definition
The status of this capability statement. Enables tracking the life-cycle of the content.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Allows filtering of capability statements that are appropriate for use vs. not.  
This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not use a retired capability statement without due consideration. This is not intended for use with actual capability statements, but where capability statements are used to describe possible or desired systems.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].expression
hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

# snapshot.element[].binding.description
The lifecycle status of a Value Set or Concept Map.

# snapshot.element[].definition
A boolean value to indicate that this capability statement is authored for testing purposes (or education/evaluation/marketing), and is not intended to be used for genuine usage.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Allows filtering of capability statement that are appropriate for use vs. not. This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not use an experimental capability statement in production.

# snapshot.element[].requirements
Enables experimental content to be developed following the same lifecycle that would be used for a production-level capability statement.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].expression
hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

# snapshot.element[].definition
The date  (and optionally time) when the capability statement was published. The date must change if and when the business version changes and it must change if the status code changes. In addition, it should change when the substantive content of the capability statement changes.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Note that this is not the same as the resource last-modified-date, since the resource may be a secondary representation of the capability statement. Additional specific dates may be added as extensions or be found by consulting Provenances associated with past versions of the resource.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human

# snapshot.element[].short
Name of the publisher (organization or individual)

# snapshot.element[].definition
The name of the individual or organization that published the capability statement.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Usually an organization, but may be an individual. The publisher (or steward) of the capability statement is the organization or individual primarily responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the capability statement. This is not necessarily the same individual or organization that developed and initially authored the content. The publisher is the primary point of contact for questions or issues with the capability statement. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context.

# snapshot.element[].requirements
Helps establish the "authority/credibility" of the capability statement.  May also allow for contact.

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].human

Telecommunications form for contact point

# snapshot.element[].definition
The actual contact point details, in a form that is meaningful to the designated communication system (i.e. phone number or email address).

# snapshot.element[].comment
Additional text data such as phone extension numbers, or notes about use of the contact are sometimes included in the value.

# snapshot.element[].requirements
Need to support legacy numbers that are not in a tightly controlled format.

home | work | temp | old | mobile - purpose of this contact point

# snapshot.element[].definition
Identifies the purpose for the contact point.

# snapshot.element[].comment
This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not mistake a temporary or old contact etc.for a current/permanent one. Applications can assume that a contact is current unless it explicitly says that it is temporary or old.

# snapshot.element[].short
Time period when the contact point was/is in use

# snapshot.element[].definition
Time period when the contact point was/is in use.

# snapshot.element[].comment
This is not a duration - that's a measure of time (a separate type), but a duration that occurs at a fixed value of time. A Period specifies a range of time; the context of use will specify whether the entire range applies (e.g. "the patient was an inpatient of the hospital for this time range") or one value from the range applies (e.g. "give to the patient between these two times"). If duration is required, specify the type as Interval|Duration.

End time with inclusive boundary, if not ongoing

# snapshot.element[].definition
The end of the period. If the end of the period is missing, it means that the period is ongoing. The start may be in the past, and the end date in the future, which means that period is expected/planned to end at that time.

# snapshot.element[].comment
The high value includes any matching date/time. i.e. 2012-02-03T10:00:00 is in a period that has a end value of 2012-02-03.

Natural language description of the capability statement

# snapshot.element[].definition
A free text natural language description of the capability statement from a consumer's perspective. Typically, this is used when the capability statement describes a desired rather than an actual solution, for example as a formal expression of requirements as part of an RFP.

# snapshot.element[].comment
This description can be used to capture details such as why the capability statement was built, comments about misuse, instructions for clinical use and interpretation, literature references, examples from the paper world, etc. It is not a rendering of the capability statement as conveyed in the 'text' field of the resource itself. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context (e.g. the language of the profile is presumed to be the predominant language in the place the profile was created). This does not need to be populated if the description is adequately implied by the software or implementation details.

The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code.

# snapshot.element[].comment
The URI may be an OID (urn:oid:...) or a UUID (urn:uuid:...).  OIDs and UUIDs SHALL be references to the HL7 OID registry. Otherwise, the URI should come from HL7's list of FHIR defined special URIs or it should de-reference to some definition that establish the system clearly and unambiguously.

# snapshot.element[].definition
The version of the code system which was used when choosing this code. Note that a well-maintained code system does not need the version reported, because the meaning of codes is consistent across versions. However this cannot consistently be assured. and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Amongst a set of alternatives, a directly chosen code is the most appropriate starting point for new translations. There is some ambiguity about what exactly 'directly chosen' implies, and trading partner agreement may be needed to clarify the use of this element and its consequences more completely.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Unknown elements in a resource can only arise as later versions of the specification are published, because this is the only place where such elements can be defined. Hence accepting unknown elements is about inter-version compatibility.

Applications are recommended to accept unknown extensions and elements ('both'), but this is not always possible.

# snapshot.element[].definition
A list of profiles that represent different use cases supported by the system. For a server, "supported by the system" means the system hosts/produces a set of resources that are conformant to a particular profile, and allows clients that use its services to search using this profile and to find appropriate data. For a client, it means the system will search by this profile and process data according to the guidance implicit in the profile. See further discussion in [Using Profiles](profiling.html#profile-uses).

# snapshot.element[].comment
Supported profiles are different than the profiles that apply to a particular resource in rest.resource.profile. The resource profile is a general statement of what features of the resource are supported overall by the system - the sum total of the facilities it supports. A supported profile is a deeper statement about the functionality of the data and services provided by the server (or used by the client). A typical case is a laboratory system that produces a set of different reports - this is the list of types of data that it publishes. A key aspect of declaring profiles here is the question of how the client converts knowledge that the server publishes this data into working with the data; the client can inspect individual resources to determine whether they conform to a particular profile, but how does it find the ones that does? It does so by searching using the _profile parameter, so any resources listed here must be valid values for the _profile resource (using the identifier in the target profile).  Typically, supported profiles cross resource types to describe a network of related resources, so they are listed here rather than by resource. However, they do not need to describe more than one resource.

Literal reference, Relative, internal or absolute URL

# snapshot.element[].definition
A reference to a location at which the other resource is found. The reference may be a relative reference, in which case it is relative to the service base URL, or an absolute URL that resolves to the location where the resource is found. The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific. Internal fragment references (start with '#') refer to contained resources.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Using 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. If the URL conforms to the structure "/[type]/[id]" then it should be assumed that the reference is to a FHIR RESTful server.

Logical reference, when literal reference is not known

# snapshot.element[].definition
An identifier for the other resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference.

# snapshot.element[].comment
When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy. 

When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference

Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it.

Literal reference, Relative, internal or absolute URL

# snapshot.element[].definition
A reference to a location at which the other resource is found. The reference may be a relative reference, in which case it is relative to the service base URL, or an absolute URL that resolves to the location where the resource is found. The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific. Internal fragment references (start with '#') refer to contained resources.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Using 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. If the URL conforms to the structure "/[type]/[id]" then it should be assumed that the reference is to a FHIR RESTful server.

Logical reference, when literal reference is not known

# snapshot.element[].definition
An identifier for the other resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference.

# snapshot.element[].comment
When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy. 

When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference

Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it.

A flag to indicate that the server allows or needs to allow the client to create new identities on the server (e.g. that is, the client PUTs to a location where there is no existing resource). Allowing this operation means that the server allows the client to create new identities on the server.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Allowing the clients to create new identities on the server means that the system administrator needs to have confidence that the clients do not create clashing identities between them. Obviously, if there is only one client, this won't happen. While creating identities on the client means that the clients need to be managed, it's much more convenient for many scenarios if such management can be put in place.

Literal reference, Relative, internal or absolute URL

# snapshot.element[].definition
A reference to a location at which the other resource is found. The reference may be a relative reference, in which case it is relative to the service base URL, or an absolute URL that resolves to the location where the resource is found. The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific. Internal fragment references (start with '#') refer to contained resources.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Using 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. If the URL conforms to the structure "/[type]/[id]" then it should be assumed that the reference is to a FHIR RESTful server.

Logical reference, when literal reference is not known

# snapshot.element[].definition
An identifier for the other resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference.

# snapshot.element[].comment
When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy. 

When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference

Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it.

Literal reference, Relative, internal or absolute URL

# snapshot.element[].definition
A reference to a location at which the other resource is found. The reference may be a relative reference, in which case it is relative to the service base URL, or an absolute URL that resolves to the location where the resource is found. The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific. Internal fragment references (start with '#') refer to contained resources.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Using 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. If the URL conforms to the structure "/[type]/[id]" then it should be assumed that the reference is to a FHIR RESTful server.

Logical reference, when literal reference is not known

# snapshot.element[].definition
An identifier for the other resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference.

# snapshot.element[].comment
When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy. 

When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference

Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it.

However this cannot consistently be assured. and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date.

unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Note that FHIR strings may not exceed 1MB in size

All FHIR elements must have a @value or children

# snapshot.element[].constraint[].expression
hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

# snapshot.element[].slicing.description
Extensions are always sliced by (at least) url

# snapshot.element[].short
Additional Content defined by implementations

# snapshot.element[].definition
May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. In order 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 is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

# snapshot.element[].comment
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.

Must have either extensions or value[x], not both

# snapshot.element[].short
Literal reference, Relative, internal or absolute URL

# snapshot.element[].definition
A reference to a location at which the other resource is found. The reference may be a relative reference, in which case it is relative to the service base URL, or an absolute URL that resolves to the location where the resource is found. The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific. Internal fragment references (start with '#') refer to contained resources.

# snapshot.element[].comment
Using 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. If the URL conforms to the structure "/[type]/[id]" then it should be assumed that the reference is to a FHIR RESTful server.

# snapshot.element[].short
Logical reference, when literal reference is not known

# snapshot.element[].definition
An identifier for the other resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference.

# snapshot.element[].comment
When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy. 

When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference

Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it.

II - see see identifier pattern at http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=Common_Design_Patterns#Identifier_Pattern for relevant discussion. The Identifier class is a little looser than the v3 type II because it allows URIs as well as registered OIDs or GUIDs.  Also maps to Role[classCode=IDENT]

# snapshot.element[].definition
Plain text narrative that identifies the resource in addition to the resource reference.

# snapshot.element[].comment
This 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.
