Topic: Contact element in Profiles/StructureDefinition
Hannes Ulrich (Mar 10 2016 at 21:40):
Hi all. My name is Hannes and I'm currently working on a profile for 11073-1010X standard. I want to constraint various resources and I'm asking myself: Do I have to repeat the contact element for every StructureDefinition or can I assign a "global" contact for the entire profile? Thank you in advance!
Grahame Grieve (Mar 10 2016 at 21:51):
what's the contact element specifically?
Hannes Ulrich (Mar 10 2016 at 21:57):
Since the StructureDefinition can contain a contact element with name and publisher and I define various of them: do I have to repeat myself or is there a way to define the a single contact for all structured definitions in this special profile?
Grahame Grieve (Mar 10 2016 at 22:03):
you mean, like ValueSet.contact? then no, it's an anonymous type, so there's no way to reuse at that level. Where as Device.Contact you can, because it is a typed element, and you can profile the type and refer to the type

One of the enhancements I've requested for Forge is the ability to have a default set of metadata that automatically gets populated unless you choose to override. (Because I agree that filling it in each time is a pain ...)
Grahame Grieve (Mar 10 2016 at 22:08):
ah I see what the question was. Sorry, I answered the wrong one
Hannes Ulrich (Mar 10 2016 at 22:23):
Since the Furore Forge is a tool written for Windows OS and I'm using an UNIX system, I'm interested in the actual plain XML. So I do have to repeat the StructureDefinition.contact.X every time I'm defining one?
Grahame Grieve (Mar 10 2016 at 22:36):
yes
Hannes Ulrich (Mar 10 2016 at 22:40):
Thanks!
