Australian adaptation of the HL7 International CDA LegalAuthenticator class.

This is a generated StructureDefinition that describes CDA - that is, CDA as it actually is for R2. The intent of this StructureDefinition is to enable CDA to be a FHIR resource. That enables the FHIR infrastructure - API, conformance, query - to be used directly against CDA
