description: Base StructureDefinition for Resource Resource
package_name: hl7.fhir.r2b.core
name: Resource
abstract: true
type: null
elements:
  id:
    isModifier: false
    short: Logical id of this artifact
    index: 0
    comments: The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation. Bundles always have an id, though it is usually a generated UUID.
    type: id
    mustSupport: false
    maxLength: 0
    base: {max: '1', min: 0, path: Resource.id}
    isSummary: true
  meta:
    isModifier: false
    short: Metadata about the resource
    type: Meta
    mustSupport: false
    maxLength: 0
    base: {max: '1', min: 0, path: Resource.meta}
    isSummary: true
    index: 1
  implicitRules:
    isModifier: true
    short: A set of rules under which this content was created
    index: 2
    comments: Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element as much as possible.
    type: uri
    mustSupport: false
    maxLength: 0

    isSummary: true
  language:
    isModifier: false
    short: Language of the resource content
    index: 3
    comments: Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies  to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource  Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).
