Topic: context for any datatype

Eric Haas (Jun 05 2018 at 01:20):

looking at the spec for how we do 'any' for datatypes.

here is an example...

e.g., http://build.fhir.org/extension-iso21090-nullflavor.html

<context>
<type value="element"/>
<expression value="Resource"/>
</context>

what is the difference between 'Resource' and 'Element' and is there a 'DataType'?

we've reworked this in R4 because that wasn't clear

Thanks, I answered my own question:

Resource = This is the base resource type for everything.
Element = Base definition for all elements in a resource.
