Comments

  • The scope of a given Contribution instance includes only the actions of a single agent in contributing to a single artifact. The agent can be an individual, or a group or organization of individuals acting together to make the contribution. Contribution instances are used to organize information about when, where, how (e.g. what roles were played), and on whose behalf these actions were performed.

    - FHIR naming conventions are followed here, where an 'id' field holds logical

      field holds business identifiers, which are globally unique and used to connect
      entities and share content across systems.

    comments:
    - Record-level metadata applies to a specific concrete encoding/serialization
      of information (e.g as a record in a specific knowlegebase, or an online digital
      resource). A RecordMetadata object can capture when, how, and by whom a specific
      record was generated or modified; what upstream resources it was derived/retrieved
      from; and record-level administrative information such as versioning and system
      / lifecycle status.
