Name Cardinality and Range Description Inheritance
type 1..1
Class		 The schema class that is instantiated by the data object. Must be the name of a class from the VA schema. Element
description 0..1
String		 A free text description of the Element. Element
extensions 0..*
Extension		 A key-value data structure that allows definition of custom fields to capture information not directly supported by the VA specification. Element

Comments

  • The Utility class itself is abstract and has no direct attributes. Implementers would always use one of its concrete subtypes with specifically defined fields (e.g. Coding, Expression, Extension).

    comments:
    - The VA-Spec provides  implementers the ability to extend any model elements
      with new attributes using this flexible Extension element.
