2.29.3.1 Constraints

• dom-1: If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain any narrative (expression : contained.text.empty())
• dom-2: If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain nested Resources (expression : contained.contained.empty())
• dom-3: If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL be referred to from elsewhere in the resource (expression : contained.where(('#'+id in %resource.descendants().reference).not()).empty())
• dom-4: If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a meta.versionId or a meta.lastUpdated (expression : contained.meta.versionId.empty() and contained.meta.lastUpdated.empty())

2.29.4 Searching Extensions

To search for extensions, define a search parameter for the extension. All other search parameters are named aliases for existing content in the resource. In some cases, though not all, the search parameter name is the same as the element that it searches, but this is not required. Searching for extensions is the same - define a name that identifies the value extension by its URL, and then searches can filter based on the value of the extension.

2.29.5 Search Parameters

Common search parameters defined by this resource. See Searching for more information about searching in REST, messaging, and services.
