    • Method Detail

      • getUrl

        public Uri getUrl()
        An absolute URI that is used to identify this questionnaire when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance; also called its canonical identifier. This SHOULD be globally unique and SHOULD be a literal address at which at which an authoritative instance of this questionnaire is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the questionnaire is stored on different servers.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Uri that may be null.

      • getIdentifier

        public java.util.List<Identifier> getIdentifier()
        A formal identifier that is used to identify this questionnaire when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type Identifier that may be empty.

      • getVersion

        public String getVersion()
        The identifier that is used to identify this version of the questionnaire when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the questionnaire author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type String that may be null.

      • getName

        public String getName()
        A natural language name identifying the questionnaire. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type String that may be null.

      • getDate

        public DateTime getDate()

     if (visitor.visit(elementName, elementIndex, this)) {
         // visit children
     }
     visitor.visitEnd(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     visitor.postVisit(this);
 }
        Specified by:
        accept in interface Visitable
