Generated Narrative: CodeSystem version-algorithm

This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/version-algorithm defines the following codes:

Code	Display	Definition
semver	SemVer	Uses the semantic versioning scheme as defined in semver.org.
integer	Integer	Versions are integers and ordered numerically
alpha	Alphabetical	Simple alphabetic sort on a case-insensitive and accent-insensitive basis. (Sorting of different cases or accented versions of a character is indeterminate)
date	Date	Versions are expressed as an ISO date/time syntax (including syntaxes with only portions of a date) in the general format of YYYY-MM-DD (with or without separators). Inclusion of the time portion is optional.
natural	Natural	Sorted according to the algorithm defined here: naturalordersort.org
major-minor	Major/Minor	Similar to semver, but having only two components - i.e. a major and minor (integer) version number separated by a '.'. The specific nature of what constitutes a major vs. minor increment is locally defined.
sct-url	SNOMED-CT URL	Versions are expressed according to the SNOMED URL scheme. See the Versions topic for more details.
us-date	US Date	Versions are expressed as an US date format, i.e. MMDDYYYY (with or without separators).
