Topic: Relative uri in coding.system and identifier.system

Hi all,
Can we use relative URIs in the extension.url, coding.system and identifier.system elements referencing resources on our FHIR server where this resource is going to be created? What is the correct syntax for it? Should there be leading '/' or '//', e.g. system: /NamingSystem/ogrn or system: //NamingSystem/ogrn? Is this example correct? (yaml format):

resourceType: Organization
identifier:
- system: NamingSystem/ogrn
  value: "12345678"
type:
- coding:
  - code: surgical
    system: CodeSystem/organization-profiles
    display: Surgical department
extension:
- url: StructureDefinition/organizaton-plannedBedsPerYear
  valueInteger: 300

we have always said that the systems in Coding and Identifier must be an absolute URI

even though the resources to support it might be stored locally

Thank you, Grahame! :slight_smile:
