Constraints

Id	Grade	Path(s)	Details	Requirements
csd-0	warning	CodeSystem	Name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation : name.matches('[A-Z]([A-Za-z0-9_]){0,254}')
csd-1	error	CodeSystem	Within a code system definition, all the codes SHALL be unique : concept.code.combine($this.descendants().concept.code).isDistinct()
dom-2	error	CodeSystem	If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain nested Resources : contained.contained.empty()
dom-3	error	CodeSystem	If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL be referred to from elsewhere in the resource or SHALL refer to the containing resource : contained.where((('#'+id in (%resource.descendants().reference | %resource.descendants().as(canonical) | %resource.descendants().as(uri) | %resource.descendants().as(url))) or descendants().where(reference = '#').exists() or descendants().where(as(canonical) = '#').exists() or descendants().where(as(canonical) = '#').exists()).not()).trace('unmatched', id).empty()
dom-4	error	CodeSystem	If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a meta.versionId or a meta.lastUpdated : contained.meta.versionId.empty() and contained.meta.lastUpdated.empty()
dom-5	error	CodeSystem	If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a security label : contained.meta.security.empty()
dom-6	best practice	CodeSystem	A resource should have narrative for robust management : text.`div`.exists()
ele-1	error	**ALL** elements	All FHIR elements must have a @value or children : hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())
ext-1	error	**ALL** extensions	Must have either extensions or value[x], not both : extension.exists() != value.exists()
scs-1	error	CodeSystem	If a codesystem contains nested concepts, it must specify hierarchyMeaning : concept.concept.exists() implies hierarchyMeaning.exists()
scs-2	error	CodeSystem	If a codesystem contains example, fragment, or complete content, it must have at least one concept : content in ( 'example' | 'fragment' | 'complete' ) implies concept.exists()
