Short	group

Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here

0. BackboneElement
Definition	Class of data elements Base definition for all elements that are defined inside a resource - but not those in a data type.
Short	groupBase for elements defined inside a resource
Control	0..*
Is Modifier	false
Invariants	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
2. BackboneElement.modifierExtension
Definition	May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. 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. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).
Short	Extensions that cannot be ignored even if unrecognized
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.
Control	0..*
Type	Extension
Is Modifier	true because Modifier extensions are expected to modify the meaning or interpretation of the element that contains them
Summary	true
Requirements	Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.
Alternate Names	extensions, user content, modifiers
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())

0. BackboneElement
Definition	Class of data elements
Short	group
Control	0..*
Is Modifier	false
Invariants	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (`hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`)
2. BackboneElement.id
Definition	Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
Short	Unique id for inter-element referencing
Control	0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Type	id
Is Modifier	false
XML Format	In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute.
Summary	false
4. BackboneElement.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.
Control	0..*
Type	Extension
Is Modifier	false
Summary	false
Alternate Names	extensions, user content
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()`)
Slicing	This element introduces a set of slices on `BackboneElement.extension`. The slices areUnordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators: value @ url
6. BackboneElement.modifierExtension
Definition	May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions.
