Topic: Bundle.entry.fullUrl
Patrick Childers (Jan 16 2017 at 20:20):
Shouldn't Bundle.entry.fullUrl be named Bundle.entry.fullUri as it isn't required to be a URL? Has this been discussed for a future spec revision?
Grahame Grieve (Jan 16 2017 at 20:34):
we consistly use url rather than uri to encourage url, since we strongly prefer url
Michael Donnelly (Jan 16 2017 at 20:37):
Not disagreeing, just curious: why do you prefer URL to URI?
Patrick Childers (Jan 16 2017 at 20:40):
That makes sense, I was working on a patient referral use case and reading over https://lightmyfhir.org/2016/02/26/fhir-transactions/ to understand more about sending bundles to import. And it seemed like URNs would be the preferred mechanism as to handle the server behavior for generating ids.

How about https://www.hl7.org/fhir/implementationguide-definitions.html#ImplementationGuide.dependency.uri ?
Rick Geimer (Jan 16 2017 at 20:47):
@Michael Donnelly URLs are preferred because they are directly resolvable, unlike urn:uuid:blah-blah-blah
Michael Donnelly (Jan 16 2017 at 21:45):
Ah, that makes sense.
