type: null
elements:
  system:
    isModifier: false
    short: phone | fax | email | pager | other
    type: code
    mustSupport: false
    maxLength: 0
    base: {max: '1', min: 0, path: ContactPoint.system}
    isSummary: true
    index: 0
  value:
    isModifier: false
    short: The actual contact point details

  use:
    isModifier: true
    short: home | work | temp | old | mobile - purpose of this contact point
    index: 2
    comments: This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not mistake a temporary or old contact etc.for a current/permanent one. Applications can assume that a contact is current unless it explicitly says that it is temporary or old.
