      Motion to remove/deprecate .specialization, .capability, .physicalCharacteristics on Device and DeviceDefinition and then update:

      property (remains 0..*):

      • type                      1..1      CodeableConcept      the property code, bound to ValueSet DeviceProperty (Example)
      • value[x]                 1..1
        • valueBoolean                  boolean                       value for a boolean property
        • valueInteger                    integer                        value for a countable property
        • valueCodeableConcept   CodeableConcept      value for a codeable property   
        • valueQuantity                  Quantity                     value for a quantitative property
        • valueRange                     Range                         value for a property expressed as a range
        • valueString                      string                         value for a string property
        • valueAttachment             Attachment  

      And remove from the original proposal property.description as that can be handled by valueCodeableConcept or valueString as the origins of description came from capability that only had type and description.

    Description

      What is the difference between the capability and specialization element? When to use one and when the other?  We porpose to either make the distinction clear, or have only one element present in the resource.

      Note: In Device resource, only specialization element is present, to represent the capabilities supported on a device.
