Context of the extension
The specification mentions a set of contexts of an extension. The spec is just a bit to terse to fully understand what they entail. So, below I have given my interpretation of them, as a candidate for extending the documentation:
- A particular element in a single resource - In instances, these extension elements can be found under the Resource.extensions element and refer to an element in the same resource (by use of id/idref, but we're going to change that?). Logically, this extension becomes a child element of that referenced element.
- Anywhere a particular data type is used
- A set of elements across one or more resources
- A particular context in one of the mapped reference models
- Another extension
