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
  • 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

(TODO: rest will follow, called into a meeting, sorry)
