Topic: Where do I get definitions of resources from?
Andrew Broadbent (Feb 07 2018 at 11:36):
Hi all,
I'm currently building a web tool which allows creation of resource instances. The UI gives you a list of all fhir resource types, then when one is selected, it presents UI relevant to that type. What I'm wondering is; where do I get the definitions of these fhir resources? I'd rather write a tool that indexes these definitions and generates UI based on them, rather than hard coding UI for each resource type, since there are likely to be additions and changes.

the most authoritative and complete source is the structure definitions in the definitions downloads available from the downloads page. For this use, the file expansions.xml is also useful - but you can only type it's address in directly; it's not not linked to from anywhere
