This Additional Resources Incubator Implementation Guide (IG) defines FHIR resources that require additional review and enhancement before becoming normative content and included in a future version of the FHIR specification. We welcome and encourage all feedback on this content.
| Graph Definition | A formal computable definition of a graph of resources - that is, a coherent set of resources that form a graph by following references. The Graph Definition resource defines a set and makes rules about the set. |
| Add to an array in a large resource | Add content to an array in a large resource such as List or Group. See Operations for Large Resources. |
| Filter an array in a large resource | Filter content from an array in a large resource such as List or Group. See Operations for Large Resources. |
| Find a functional list | This operation allows a client to find an identified list for a particular function by its function. The operation takes two parameters, the identity of a patient, and the name of a functional list. The list of defined functional lists can be found at Current Resource Lists. Applications are not required to support all the lists, and may define additional lists of their own. If the system is able to locate a list that serves the identified purpose, it returns it as the body of the response with a 200 OK status. If the resource cannot be located, the server returns a 404 not found (optionally with an OperationOutcome resource) |
| Return a graph of resources | Return an entire graph of resources based on a GraphDefinition. The operation is invoked on a specific instance of a resource, and the graph definition tells the server what other resources to return in the same packaage |
| Access a list of profiles, tags, and security labels | This operation retrieves a summary of the profiles, tags, and security labels for the given scope; e.g. for each scope:
|
| Add profiles, tags, and security labels to a resource | This operation takes a meta, and adds the profiles, tags, and security labels found in it to the nominated resource |
| Delete profiles, tags, and security labels for a resource | This operation takes a meta, and deletes the profiles, tags, and security labels found in it from the nominated resource |
| Remove from an array in a large resource | Remove content from an array in a large resource such as List or Group. See Operations for Large Resources. |

Package hl7.fhir.uv.extensions.r5#5.3.0 This IG defines the global extensions - the ones defined for everyone. These extensions are always in scope wherever FHIR is being used (built Sat, May 16, 2026 18:32+1000+10:00) |
Package hl7.fhir.uv.tools.r5#1.1.2 This IG defines the extensions that the tools use internally. Some of these extensions are content that are being evaluated for elevation into the main spec, and others are tooling concerns (built Tue, Mar 24, 2026 11:13+1100+11:00) |
