Topic: Identifiers with checksum
Jay Lyle (Oct 14 2020 at 15:30):
We have an identifier with a checksum. We could put the whole thing in identifier.value & parse out the base in a renderedValue extension. Is anyone else dealing with this, and is that the answer you came up with?
John Moehrke (Oct 14 2020 at 15:56):
will people do a search on the identifier without the checksum? Meaning is the identifier and checksum used as one? For example a Credit-Card number has the checksum included in the number as it is used. If it is needed as the number without checksum, then likely you need an extension to carry the checksum... then again, what use is the checksum in that case as it is disconnected.

Resource.identifier is by definition a business identifier - let the business logic deal with things like checksums. Put the whole thing in identifier.value, and leave it alone...
