description: 'A human language representation of the concept (resource/element) as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the full intended meaning of the user. This can be provided either directly as text, or as a url that is a reference to a portion of the narrative of a resource ([DomainResource.text](narrative.html) or [Composition.section.text](composition-definitions.html#Composition.section.text)). When it''s a url, the value should end with a #{id} where the id identifies a specific portion of the referenced content (via an XHTML id attribute).  To provide human language maintained as part of the narrative, use [narrativeLink](StructureDefinition-narrativeLink.html). To cross-link narrative and data, use the [textLink extension](StructureDefinition-textLink.html).'
