Readable FHIR metadata

First time poster. I did attempt to find this question/answer in previous posts. My apologies if this question has already been answered.

Using the FHIR EOB as a starting point, my end goal is to create a data dictionary with the FHIR element as the unit of observation and the element meta data (description, terminology binding, etc) as the column headers. The resulting output would be a CSV.

Thank you -

If you go to any profile in an IG and change the “.html” of the URL to “.csv” or “.xlsx” you may get what you’re looking for. E.g. https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/carin-bb/StructureDefinition-C4BB-ExplanationOfBenefit.html and then query https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/carin-bb/StructureDefinition-C4BB-ExplanationOfBenefit.csv or https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/carin-bb/StructureDefinition-C4BB-ExplanationOfBenefit.xlsx.

The template should actually be including hyperlinks to these, but they got lost somehow. Links should be present in future releases.

This was helpful, thank you. I attempted to do the same for v3 but was not able to. Do you happen to know of a source for that as well?

Nope. The v3 models are XML, so you could write a transform, but there’s no standard way of doing it.
