                 implied by the supplied timestamp. E.g. a value of 2014 would set the period s

                 for dependency version resolution and expansion parameters. Parameters specified
                 directly in the operation override behaviors specified by the manifest parameter.
                 In general, if this parameter is supplied, it is expected to be used in nested
                 operation calls. For example, in evaluating a measure, if the expansion of a value
                 set is required, this parameter SHALL be supplied to that expansion.

                 The first entries in each Bundle are MeasureReport(s) corresponding to the measures
                 for which data was collected. The MeasureReport resources SHALL have a type of
                 data-exchange. Subsequent entries in each Bundle are resources representing the
                 data-of-interest for the measures, and referenced from the evaluatedResource element
                 of the corresponding MeasureReport resources. See the
