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