Which element carries THE effective date for this profile, as a precedence-ordered list of raw-FHIR paths -- or an explicit declaration that the profile has none. One date concept per resource, declared in the IG rather than guessed by each consumer.

Every element this profile touches, with its full definition. Element names in the tables link here.

Extension.id

Short Unique id for inter-element referencing
Definition Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

Type http://hl7.org/fhirpath/System.String

Extension.extension

Short Additional content defined by implementations
Definition May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
Comments There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Definition Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.
Comments The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

Extension.extension:none

Short True when the profile deliberately has no effective date
Definition Set to true to declare, positively, that this resource type has no effective date. Distinct from declaring nothing: it stops a consumer falling back to a guess and inventing one.
