Constraints

Id	Grade	Path(s)	Details	Requirements
dom-2	error	ImplementationGuide	If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain nested Resources : contained.contained.empty()
dom-3	error	ImplementationGuide	If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL be referred to from elsewhere in the resource or SHALL refer to the containing resource : contained.where((('#'+id in (%resource.descendants().reference | %resource.descendants().as(canonical) | %resource.descendants().as(uri) | %resource.descendants().as(url))) or descendants().where(reference = '#').exists() or descendants().where(as(canonical) = '#').exists() or descendants().where(as(canonical) = '#').exists()).not()).trace('unmatched', id).empty()

dom-5	error	ImplementationGuide	If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a security label : contained.meta.security.empty()
dom-6	best practice	ImplementationGuide	A resource should have narrative for robust management : text.`div`.exists()
ele-1	error	**ALL** elements	All FHIR elements must have a @value or children : hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())

ig-0	warning	ImplementationGuide	Name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation : name.matches('[A-Z]([A-Za-z0-9_]){0,254}')
ig-1	error	ImplementationGuide.definition	If a resource has a groupingId, it must refer to a grouping defined in the Implementation Guide : resource.groupingId.all(%context.grouping.id contains $this)
ig-2	error	ImplementationGuide	If a resource has a fhirVersion, it must be oe of the versions defined for the Implementation Guide : definition.resource.fhirVersion.all(%context.fhirVersion contains $this)
