Re: Proposed RDF FHIR syntax feedback

I fully support having a single "fhir" prefix. This will help at 'FHIR 
ontology' development level with making reusable predicates.
Also at instance level it would help to include something that identifies 
order for array elements
Kind Regards,

Several comments:
1. I'm not clear on the benefit of defining prefixes for every resource 
and type.  The alternative is a single "fhir" prefix
2. We need to include something in the instances that identifies order for 
array elements
3. Do we need to declare type everywhere?  Quite often, the type can be 
inferred from the context and the property name by consulting the 
resource/data type definition ontology.  Explicitly listing types 
everywhere adds verbosity to the instances and also adds complexity to the 
conversion process
4. Not sure why we have nodes underneath "div".  Can't we just have "div" 
be of type string for our purposes?

Additional things to add to our example:
- a nested structure (e.g. DiagnosticReport.image)
- a reference to an external resource (outside the bundle) and reference 
to something within the bundle (local, full reference-version independent, 
full reference-version dependent)
- a codeable concept with multiple codings
- a coding with version declared
- a coding with valueset declared
- a coding with code but no system
- an instance of identifier
- an "id" attribute on an element
- a reference to the same id attribute (likely from an extension)
- an extension with a simple type
- an extension with a complex type
- an extension that repeats and has multiple values
- an element that is an instance a choice (element name is something[x])
- a reference to Questionnaire or one of the other resources that has 
recursion.  Could just be added to the bundle
