    url?: UriType

    OperationDefinition.url Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Canonical identifier for this operation definition, represented as a URI (globally unique)
    • Definition: An absolute URI that is used to identify this operation definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance; also called its canonical identifier. This SHOULD be globally unique and SHOULD be a literal address at which at which an authoritative instance of this operation definition is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the operation definition is stored on different servers.
    • 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. The determination of when to create a new version of a resource (same url, new version) vs. defining a new artifact is up to the author. Considerations for making this decision are found in Technical and Business Versions. In some cases, the resource can no longer be found at the stated url, but the url itself cannot change. Implementations can use the meta.source element to indicate where the current master source of the resource can be found.
    • Requirements: Allows the operation definition to be referenced by a single globally unique identifier.

    version?: StringType

    OperationDefinition.version Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Business version of the operation definition
    • Definition: The identifier that is used to identify this version of the operation definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the operation definition 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.
    • Comment: There may be different operation definition instances that have the same identifier but different versions. The version can be appended to the url in a reference to allow a reference to a particular business version of the operation definition with the format [url]|[version].
    • FHIR Type: string

    • isSummary: true
    name: null | StringType

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Name for this operation definition (computer friendly)
    • Definition: A natural language name identifying the operation definition. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation.
    • Comment: The name is not expected to be globally unique. The name should be a simple alphanumeric type name to ensure that it is machine-processing friendly.
    • Requirements: Support human navigation and code generation.
