    • Method Detail

      • getCode

        public Code getCode()
        A code that is used to identify the property. The code is used internally (in CodeSystem.concept.property.code) and also externally, such as in property filters.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Code that is non-null.
      • getUri

        public Uri getUri()
        Reference to the formal meaning of the property. One possible source of meaning is the [Concept Properties](codesystem- concept-properties.html) code system.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Uri that may be null.
      • getDescription

        public String getDescription()
        A description of the property- why it is defined, and how its value might be used.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type String that may be null.
      • getType

        public PropertyType getType()
        The type of the property value. Properties of type "code" contain a code defined by the code system (e.g. a reference to another defined concept).
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type PropertyType that is non-null.
      • 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
