Description
Use case:
An instance of Observation may be derived from an ObservationDefinition. In that case it should make this fact explicit by referencing the instance of ObservationDefinition it conforms to.
Request:
Add this element:
definition[x] 0..1 the reference to the definition of this observation
- definitionCanonical canonical(ObservationDefinition)
- definitionReference Reference(ObservationDefinition)
(ObservationDefinition is a MetadataResource, hence the choice between canonical and Reference).
