This value set contains 17 concepts
Expansion based on http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform version 3.2.0
All codes from system http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform
| Code | Display | Definition | 
| create | create | create(type : string) - type is passed through to the application on the standard API, and must be known by it | 
| copy | copy | copy(source) | 
| truncate | truncate | truncate(source, length) - source must be stringy type | 
| escape | escape | escape(source, fmt1, fmt2) - change source from one kind of escaping to another (plain, java, xml, json). note that this is for when the string itself is escaped | 
| cast | cast | cast(source, type?) - case source from one type to another. target type can be left as implicit if there is one and only one target type known | 
| append | append | append(source...) - source is element or string | 
| translate | translate | translate(source, uri_of_map) - use the translate operation | 
| reference | reference | reference(source : object) - return a string that references the provided tree properly | 
| dateOp | dateOp | Perform a date operation. *Parameters to be documented* | 
| uuid | uuid | Generate a random UUID (in lowercase). No Parameters | 
| pointer | pointer | Return the appropriate string to put in a reference that refers to the resource provided as a parameter | 
| evaluate | evaluate | Execute the supplied fluentpath expression and use the value returned by that | 
| cc | cc | Create a CodeableConcept. Parameters = (text) or (system. Code[, display]) | 
| c | c | Create a Coding. Parameters = (system. Code[, display]) | 
| qty | qty | Create a quantity. Parameters = (text) or (value, unit, [system, code]) where text is the natural representation e.g. [comparator]value[space]unit | 
| id | id | Create an identifier. Parameters = (system, value[, type]) where type is a code from the identifier type value set | 
| cp | cp | Create a contact details. Parameters = (value) or (system, value). If no system is provided, the system should be inferred from the content of the value |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Lvl | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organise codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information | 
| Source | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) | 
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract') | 
| Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application | 
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept | 
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
