7.7.11.1
Model
Instance
Transformation
The
transform
operation
takes
input
content,
applies
a
structure
map
transform,
and
then
returns
the
output.
The
official
URL
for
this
operation
definition
is
http://hl7.org/fhir/OperationDefinition/StructureMap-transform
Formal
Definition
(as
a
OperationDefinition
).
URL:
[base]/StructureMap/$transform
URL:
[base]/StructureMap/[id]/$transform
This
is
an
idempotent
operation

Parameters:

source
0..1
uri
The
structure
map
to
apply.
This
is
only
needed
if
the
operation
is
invoked
at
the
resource
level.
If
the
$transform
operation
is
invoked
on
a
particular
structure
map,
this
will
be
ignored
by
the
server

Parameters:

Profile
Documentation
return
1..1
Resource
The
result
of
the
transform
The
input
and
return
are
specified
as
'Resources'.
In
most
usage
of
the
$transform
operation,
either
the
input
or
return
content
is
not
a
valid
FHIR
resource.
In
these
cases,
the
return
type
is
actually
a
Binary
resource.
For
this
operation,
the
Binary
resources
may
be
encoded
directly,
using
a
mime-type,
as
shown
in
the
example.
Note:
this
specification
does
not
yet
address
the
means
by
which
the
servers
may
know
the
correct
mime
types
for
the
various
content
involved
