Generated Narrative: CodeSystem dependency-role-codes

This case-sensitive code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/dependency-role-codes defines the following codes:

Code	Display	Definition
default	Default	A dependency that does not otherwise have a specific role. There is no need to state that a dependency plays a default role, this code is used in the include parameter to indicate whether default dependencies are included in the package.
key	Key	A dependency that is included because it is referenced from a key element.
example	Example	A dependency that is included because it is part of an example, or referenced from an example context (e.g. a ValueSet referenced from an example binding).
test	Test	A dependency that is included because it is part of a test.
