Topic: SD dependency management

Because a StructureDefinition snapshot includes information from dependent profiles, how should those dependencies be described and/or managed?

Chris Grenz (Oct 25 2016 at 14:32):

I think there are excellent patterns already in place for package management in Java and .NET (and others) - should we have something similar in the FHIR SD model?

<snapshotDepends>
  <profile value="http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Patient" />
  <version value="1.0.2" />
</snapshotDepends>
<snapshotDepends>
  <profile value="http://example.com/fhir/StructureDefinition/my-patient-profile" />
  <version value="0.2.4-beta2" />
</snapshotDepends>

unless you want a version range like java. there's certainly real complexity here

Chris Grenz (Oct 26 2016 at 14:11):

I think the complexity is inherent in the snapshot paradigm. Ignoring it doesn't make it less complex...
