Union of http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ebm/StructureDefinition/variable-definition and http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ebm/StructureDefinition/variable-definition

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles VariableDefinition (http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ebm/StructureDefinition/variable-definition) and VariableDefinition (http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ebm/StructureDefinition/variable-definition). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them
