#### Constraints

Id | Grade | Path(s) | Details | Requirements
dom-2 | error | Observation | If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain nested Resources : contained.contained.empty() |
dom-3 | error | Observation | If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL be referred to from elsewhere in the resource or SHALL refer to the containing resource : contained.where((('#'+id in (%resource.descendants().reference | %resource.descendants().ofType(canonical) | %resource.descendants().ofType(uri) | %resource.descendants().ofType(url))) or descendants().where(reference = '#').exists() or descendants().where(ofType(canonical) = '#').exists() or descendants().where(ofType(canonical) = '#').exists()).not()).trace('unmatched', id).empty() |
dom-4 | error | Observation | If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a meta.versionId or a meta.lastUpdated : contained.meta.versionId.empty() and contained.meta.lastUpdated.empty() |
dom-5 | error | Observation | If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a security label : contained.meta.security.empty() |
dom-6 | best practice | Observation | A resource should have narrative for robust management : text.`div`.exists() |
ele-1 | error | **ALL** elements | All FHIR elements must have a @value or children : hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()) |
