i have a question about defining mapping in FHIR. As far as i currently understand StructureDefinition.mapping defines available mappings for a profile/resource. The mapping of the contained single Element is defined in DataElement.mapping with: identity, uri, name, comments. But if i look at http://hl7.org/fhir/address.profile.xml.html i see
<mapping>
<identity value="v2"/>
<map value="XAD"/>
</mapping>
what is the source of mapping.map?
Michel Rutten (Apr 04 2016 at 20:33):
@Patrick Werner StructureDefinition.mapping defines and identifies an external mapping system. ElementDefinition.mapping defines a concrete element mapping in the system that is referenced by the mapping.identity field value.
In the case, the Address StructureDefinition defines the mapping "XAD" for the root element in the system for HL7 v2, as defined by the StructureDefinition.mapping component having mapping.identifier = "v2".
Michel Rutten (Apr 04 2016 at 20:34):
IOW ElementDefinition.mapping has a "foreign key" relationship to StructureDefinition.mapping via the mapping.identifier field.

@Michel Rutten I didn't find the source (ElementDefinition) of mapping.map. Thanks a lot for explaining.

@Patrick Werner no problem

Is there a URL for the FHIR mapping language effort? (I have heard that a FHIR-specific mapping language is being defined.)

@David Booth Here's the resource: http://hl7-fhir.github.io/structuremap.html
