Data Type Profile: AddressItBase - Detailed Descriptions

Draft as of 2024-09-11

Definitions for the Address-it-base data type profile.

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

0. Address
Definition

Esiste una varietà di formati di indirizzi postali definiti in tutto il mondo. Questo profilo (Address-it-base) estende il datatype base Address includendo una serie di informazioni rilevanti per esprimere gli indirizzi in Italia.

Un Address-it-base è un indirizzo FHIR valido; i sistemi che non supportano le estensioni utilizzate saranno in grado comunque di eseguire il rendering e lavorare con un Address-it-base.

Un indirizzo Address-it-base rende alcune parti di indirizzo comunicabili separatamente. Queste parti sono necessarie in alcuni scenari d'uso italiani, ma potrebbero non avere valore per i sistemi internazionali quando le informazioni vengono inviate all'estero.

An address expressed using postal conventions (as opposed to GPS or other location definition formats). This data type may be used to convey addresses for use in delivering mail as well as for visiting locations which might not be valid for mail delivery. There are a variety of postal address formats defined around the world.

Definition

ShortAdditional content defined by implementations

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.

    The definition of Address states that "address is intended to describe postal addresses, not physical locations".
