How should modifier extensions be handled in R5? #93

dbooth: The essential problem I see is that EVERYTHING inside a resource that has been modified (modifierExtension) must not be asserted.

eric: If we hide only the resource type, that may be safe enough.
… That at least makes the common cases clear.

houcemeddine: Could have been done in a better way. But they want extensible data.

eric: Propose that for modified resources, change the resource name to have a leading underbar.
… For other elements that are modified, prepend an underbar to the modified property.

dbooth: I'd really like to get more input from others in the RDF community.

eric: If we ask, it might bias toward undue vigilence.

dbooth: Suggest we reach out to Harold, Emily, Chris Mungall

ACTION: DBooth to ask those people for input

We should not use fhir:value for non-hoisted scalar properties #104

https://github.com/w3c/hcls-fhir-rdf/issues/104

dbooth: I realized that rdf:value might not solve the problem anyway, because we need something that would only be used as an OWL datatype property, but there is nothing in RDF to prevent rdf:value from being used as an object property.

eric: This problem should have been faced in owl already. Need a property that is a superproperty of all datatype properties.

eric: Maybe there's something in the Relation Ont.

dbooth: Or look in OWL, or make up a property in a FHIR namespace.

ACTION: DBooth to look into those 3 options.

Maybe fhir:scalar or fhir:v or fhir:literal
