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
