Class GraphDefinition

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Visitable
    @Generated("org.linuxforhealth.fhir.tools.CodeGenerator")
public class GraphDefinition
extends DomainResource
    A formal computable definition of a graph of resources - that is, a coherent set of resources that form a graph by following references. The Graph Definition resource defines a set and makes rules about the set.

    Maturity level: FMM1 (Trial Use)

    • Method Detail

      • getUrl

        public Uri getUrl()
        An absolute URI that is used to identify this graph definition 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 graph definition is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the graph definition is stored on different servers.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Uri that may be null.

      • getVersion

        public String getVersion()
        The identifier that is used to identify this version of the graph definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the graph definition 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 graph definition. 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 is non-null.

      • getStatus

        public PublicationStatus getStatus()
        The status of this graph definition. Enables tracking the life-cycle of the content.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type PublicationStatus that is non-null.

      • getExperimental

        public Boolean getExperimental()
        A Boolean value to indicate that this graph definition is authored for testing purposes (or education/evaluation/marketing) and is not intended to be used for genuine usage.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Boolean that may be null.

      • getDate

        public DateTime getDate()
        The date (and optionally time) when the graph definition was published. The date must change when the business version changes and it must change if the status code changes. In addition, it should change when the substantive content of the graph definition changes.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type DateTime that may be null.

      • getPublisher

        public String getPublisher()
        The name of the organization or individual that published the graph definition.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type String that may be null.

      • getContact

        public java.util.List<ContactDetail> getContact()
        Contact details to assist a user in finding and communicating with the publisher.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type ContactDetail that may be empty.

      • getDescription

        public Markdown getDescription()
        A free text natural language description of the graph definition from a consumer's perspective.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Markdown that may be null.

      • getUseContext

        public java.util.List<UsageContext> getUseContext()
        The content was developed with a focus and intent of supporting the contexts that are listed. These contexts may be general categories (gender, age, ...) or may be references to specific programs (insurance plans, studies, ...) and may be used to assist with indexing and searching for appropriate graph definition instances.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type UsageContext that may be empty.

      • getJurisdiction

        public java.util.List<CodeableConcept> getJurisdiction()
        A legal or geographic region in which the graph definition is intended to be used.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type CodeableConcept that may be empty.

      • getPurpose

        public Markdown getPurpose()
        Explanation of why this graph definition is needed and why it has been designed as it has.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Markdown that may be null.

      • getStart

        public ResourceTypeCode getStart()
        The type of FHIR resource at which instances of this graph start.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type ResourceTypeCode that is non-null.

      • getProfile

        public Canonical getProfile()
        The profile that describes the use of the base resource.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Canonical that may be null.

      • getLink

        public java.util.List<GraphDefinition.Link> getLink()
        Links this graph makes rules about.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type GraphDefinition.Link that may be empty.

      • accept

        public void accept​(java.lang.String elementName,
                   int elementIndex,
                   Visitor visitor)
        Description copied from interface: Visitable
        Accept a Visitor and invoke the appropriate visit methods. A typical implementation would look like this: 
         if (visitor.preVisit(this)) {
     visitor.visitStart(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     if (visitor.visit(elementName, elementIndex, this)) {
         // visit children
     }
     visitor.visitEnd(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     visitor.postVisit(this);
 }
        Specified by:
        accept in interface Visitable
        Specified by:
        accept in class AbstractVisitable
        Parameters:
        elementName - the name of the element in the context of this visit
        elementIndex - the index of the element in a list or -1 if it is not contained within a List
        visitor - the visitor to use
