getUrl
public Uri getUrl()
An absolute URI that is used to identify this research element 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 research element definition is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the research element definition 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 research element definition 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 research element definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the research element 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. To provide a version consistent with the Decision Support Service specification, use the format Major.Minor.Revision (e.g. 1.0.0). For more information on versioning knowledge assets, refer to the Decision Support Service specification. Note that a version is required for non-experimental active artifacts.- Returns:
- An immutable object of type
String
that may be null.
