Definitions for the obligations-profile extension.
Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be foundhere
| 0. Extension | |
| Definition | A declaration that the data in a resource was authored by an application that conformed to the set of element level obligations described in the referenced profile Optional Extension Element - found in all resources. |
| Short | Authored by an application conforming to a set of obligationsOptional Extensions Element |
| Comments | This extension is a statement about the provenance of a particular version of the resource that it is describing; as such, it should be made in a Provenance resource referring to that particular version. Alternatively, the extension can be placed in the resource about which the declaration is made (in Resource.meta); in this case, the declaration SHOULD be removed when the resource data is altered (it may be replaced by a new declaration). |

| Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (extension.exists() != value.exists()) |
| 2. Extension.extension | |
| Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. |
| Short | Additional content defined by implementations |
| Comments | There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. |
