Topic: invalid StructureDefinition.base value
Sean McIlvenna (Apr 04 2016 at 15:51):
resource.profile.json has a "base" value of "http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/" but there is no profile in FHIR that has a url of "http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/". The only thing I can find that I think this represents in StructureDefinition.profile.json, which has a url of "http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/StructureDefinition"

Is this by design? or am I missing something?
Sean McIlvenna (Apr 04 2016 at 15:51):
Or is this a bug that I should file?
Michel Rutten (Apr 04 2016 at 16:11):
@Sean McIlvenna This is a bug. I assume the correct base for Resource would be Element, i.e. http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Element
Sean McIlvenna (Apr 04 2016 at 17:17):
Thanks... Will submit a bug
Sean McIlvenna (Apr 04 2016 at 17:23):
I was looking for a URL to reference in the ticket from the main fhir website... Maybe my local download of the spec is outdated, because in the resource.profile.json I found on the website (http://www.hl7.org/fhir/resource.profile.json.html) I don't see any "base" value at all...
Sean McIlvenna (Apr 04 2016 at 17:24):
Maybe this has already been addressed by removing "base" altogether
Sean McIlvenna (Apr 04 2016 at 17:24):
can anyone confirm this?
Mirjam Baltus (Apr 06 2016 at 08:53):
It would be correct that resource.profile.json doesn't contain a "base" value, since the base resource doesn't derive from another resource. The "base" element is still present in StructureDefinition, so for other resources you can fill it in (for example see http://www.hl7.org/fhir/patient.profile.json.html).
Mirjam Baltus (Apr 06 2016 at 08:54):
Note: for STU3 the name of this element has changed to "baseDefinition".
Grahame Grieve (Apr 07 2016 at 21:30):
Sean. yes "Resource" and "Element" are not derived from other types, so do not have a base
