Hi, I have a requirement to perform an operation with some parameters. One of the parameter needs to be a separate Parameters resource.
My question is how this can be done in the OperationDefinition. I believe I have two options:

1. Use the profile element to point to a parameters resource

    <parameter>
        <name value="SearchCriteria"/>
        <use id="in"/>
        <min value="1"/>
        <max value="1"/>
        <profile> <reference value="[base URL]/Parameters"/></profile>
    </parameter>

2.
Use the <part> element which references the Parameters resource and its elements.

Is there a preference?

Thanks in advance.

I use <part>. "The parts of a nested Parameter."

BTW, I don't see <profile> element in OperationDefinition.

Parameters isn't intended to be persistable - so there shouldn't ever be an external reference to point at. The expectation is to use 'part'.
