Class ResearchElementDefinition.Builder

    • Method Detail

      • meta

        public ResearchElementDefinition.Builder meta​(Meta meta)
        The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.
        Overrides:
        text in class DomainResource.Builder
