The EvidenceVariable resource describes an element that knowledge (Evidence) is about.
If the element is present, it must have either a @value, an @id, or extensions
An absolute URI that is used to identify this evidence variable when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance; also called its canonical identifier. This SHOULD be globally unique and SHOULD be a literal address at which an authoritative instance of this evidence variable is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the evidence variable is stored on different servers.
A formal identifier that is used to identify this evidence variable when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance.
The identifier that is used to identify this version of the evidence variable when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the evidence variable author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence. To provide a version consistent with the Decision Support Service specification, use the format Major.Minor.Revision (e.g. 1.0.0). For more information on versioning knowledge assets, refer to the Decision Support Service specification. Note that a version is required for non-experimental active artifacts.
Indicates the mechanism used to compare versions to determine which is more current.
A natural language name identifying the evidence variable. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation.
A short, descriptive, user-friendly title for the evidence variable.
The short title provides an alternate title for use in informal descriptive contexts where the full, formal title is not necessary.
The status of this evidence variable. Enables tracking the life-cycle of the content.
A Boolean value to indicate that this resource is authored for testing purposes (or education/evaluation/marketing) and is not intended to be used for genuine usage.
The date (and optionally time) when the evidence variable was last significantly changed. The date must change when the business version changes and it must change if the status code changes. In addition, it should change when the substantive content of the evidence variable changes.
The name of the organization or individual responsible for the release and ongoing maintenance of the evidence variable.
Contact details to assist a user in finding and communicating with the publisher.
A free text natural language description of the evidence variable from a consumer's perspective.
A human-readable string to clarify or explain concepts about the resource.
The content was developed with a focus and intent of supporting the contexts that are listed. These contexts may be general categories (gender, age, ...) or may be references to specific programs (insurance plans, studies, ...) and may be used to assist with indexing and searching for appropriate evidence variable instances.
Explanation of why this EvidenceVariable is needed and why it has been designed as it has.
A copyright statement relating to the resource and/or its contents. Copyright statements are generally legal restrictions on the use and publishing of the resource.
A short string (<50 characters), suitable for inclusion in a page footer that identifies the copyright holder, effective period, and optionally whether rights are resctricted. (e.g. 'All rights reserved', 'Some rights reserved').

An individual or organization asserted by the publisher to be responsible for officially endorsing the content for use in some setting.

True if the actual variable measured, false if a conceptual representation of the intended variable.
Defines the variable with a concept and/or Reference.
The method of handling in statistical analysis.
