Topic: CDA Logical elements, when to use absolute url?

Oliver Egger (Oct 21 2019 at 12:20):

• The CDA datatypes (e.g. ANY, INT) and ClinicalDocument are specified in the StructureDefinition with kind logical and a type without an absolute url (type="ANY", type="INT").
• Other CDA elements like DateEnterer, RecordTarget are specified in the StructureDefinition with kind logical and a type with an absolute url (type="http://hl7.org/fhir/cda/StructureDefinition/DataEnterer", type="http://hl7.org/fhir/cda/StructureDefinition/RecordTarget").
  Is there a rule when to use an absolute url?

Oliver Egger (Oct 21 2019 at 12:42):

according to the commit @Grahame Grieve fix type field should the absolute url be removed everywhere?

Grahame Grieve (Oct 21 2019 at 15:53):

yes. StructureDefinition.type should not be a URL
