Type
Cardinality
0 - 1
Definition
Identifies the type of the data in the attachment and allows a method to be chosen to interpret or render the data. Includes mime type parameters such as charset where appropriate.
Comment
Requirements
Processors of the data need to be able to know how to interpret the data.

Path
RelatedArtifact.document.Attachment.data
Id
Attachment.data
Type
Cardinality
0 - 1
Definition
The actual data of the attachment - a sequence of bytes, base64 encoded.
Comment
The base64-encoded data SHALL be expressed in the same character set as the base resource XML or JSON.
Requirements
The data needs to able to be transmitted inline.
Constraint
ele-1 [error]
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
Path
RelatedArtifact.document.Attachment.url
Id
Attachment.url
Type
Cardinality
0 - 1
Definition
A location where the data can be accessed.
Comment
If both data and url are provided, the url SHALL point to the same content as the data contains. Urls may be relative references or may reference transient locations such as a wrapping envelope using cid: though this has ramifications for using signatures. Relative URLs are interpreted relative to the service url, like a resource reference, rather than relative to the resource itself. If a URL is provided, it SHALL resolve to actual data.
Requirements
The data needs to be transmitted by reference.
Constraint
ele-1 [error]
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
Path
RelatedArtifact.document.Attachment.size
Id
Attachment.size
Type
Cardinality
0 - 1
Definition
The number of bytes of data that make up this attachment (before base64 encoding, if that is done).
Comment
The number of bytes is redundant if the data is provided as a base64binary, but is useful if the data is provided as a url reference.
Requirements
Representing the size allows applications to determine whether they should fetch the content automatically in advance, or refuse to fetch it at all.
Constraint
ele-1 [error]
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
Path
RelatedArtifact.document.Attachment.hash
Id
Attachment.hash
Type
Cardinality
0 - 1
Definition
The calculated hash of the data using SHA-1. Represented using base64.
Comment
The hash is calculated on the data prior to base64 encoding, if the data is based64 encoded. The hash is not intended to support digital signatures. Where protection against malicious threats a digital signature should be considered, see [Provenance.signature](provenance-definitions.html#Provenance.signature) for mechanism to protect a resource with a digital signature.
Requirements
Included so that applications can verify that the contents of a location have not changed due to technical failures (e.g., storage rot, transport glitch, incorrect version).
Constraint

Path

Id
Attachment.title
Type
Cardinality
0 - 1
Definition
A label or set of text to display in place of the data.
Comment
Requirements
Applications need a label to display to a human user in place of the actual data if the data cannot be rendered or perceived by the viewer.

Id
Attachment.creation
Type
Cardinality
0 - 1

Type
Cardinality
0 - 1
Definition
The related resource, such as a library, value set, profile, or other knowledge resource.
Comment
If the type is predecessor, this is a reference to the succeeding knowledge resource. If the type is successor, this is a reference to the prior knowledge resource.
