public abstract class DATA_STRUCTURE extends LOCATABLE implements org.hl7.fhir.instance.model.api.ICompositeType
Abstract parent class of all data structure types. Includes the as_hierarchy function which can generate the equivalent CEN EN13606 single hierarchy for each subtype?s physical representation. For example, the physical representation of an ITEM_LIST is List; its implementation of as_hierarchy will generate a CLUSTER containing the set of ELEMENT nodes from the list.
