DId anyone build or know of a DataElement Viewer / Browser? I think this resource can be a great backend for a MetaDataRegistry.

Not sure if this would work but ClinFhir has a bundle viewer; maybe it could be used?

I am looking for a viewer that actually "understands" the DataElement. The ClinFhir bundle viewer just shows the contents of a bundle. But maybe @David Hay Has some thoughts..

What does 'understand' a data element mean? Are you referring to the elementDefinition model of the element?
Michael van der Zel (Jun 21 2021 at 15:18):
The specs say "DataElement is an infrastructure resource that supports the defining individual pieces of data that might be collected or stored. While these definitions might apply to elements found in FHIR resources and profiles, they can also apply to questionnaire questions, elements in data stores, and non-FHIR specification (HL7 v2 , CDA , CDISC, etc.) I.e. the definitions aren't FHIR-specific."
I am looking for a viewer were I can search the DataElements in a FHIR server that than presents the DE and also the profiles and other DEs the DE is mapped to and the associated other things like ValueSets, in some smart view.

Do you mean the DataElement resource in R3? It was dropped in R4...
Michael van der Zel (Jun 21 2021 at 18:10):
Hah. I just read the notice in STU3. It is now rolled into StructureDefinition as a Logical Model.
