Topic: How to do profiles?
Brett Esler (May 15 2016 at 05:16):
Could I please get some advice on how to go about building profiles? I am trying to create a StructureDefiniton based on Identifier datatype - I can happily describe my constraints in Forge which creates a set of StructureDefinition.differential.element entries - is that it?
Should I be including a snapshot.element definitions of Identifier base also? Only snapshot content seems to render in simplifier.net rendering... just trying to find out what the right thing to do is?

Hi @Brett Esler, you are on the right track. Constraints are expressed via a list of ElementDefinition components within a StructureDefinition resource. Forge will generate a differential (only constraints), but there is an option to generate a snapshot when you save to disk (not visible in the application to save memory). The registry at simplifier.net currently always expands the differential to a full snapshot, so you can see the full resource. One of the planned improvements on the simplifier platform is to provide a better indication of the changed elements. We already have the underlying infrastructure, so this will probably be available soon.
