    <definition value="A  complex structure that defines a set of data elements that is suitable for use in 'resources'. The base specification defines a number of complex types, and other specifications can define additional types. These structures do not have a maintained identity."/>

    <definition value="A 'resource' - a directed acyclic graph of elements that aggregrates other types into an identifiable entity. The base FHIR resources are defined by the FHIR specification itself but other 'resources' can be defined in additional specifications (though these will not be recognized as 'resources' by the FHIR specification; i.e. they do not get end-points etc., or act as the targets of references in FHIR defined resources - though other specifications can treat them this way)."/>
