Abstract
The use of profiles is central to documenting detailed specifications. When created, profiles can be expressed in numerous combinations and derivations. Chapter 7 discussed the various types of profiles; the focus of this chapter is how the profiles are related to each other and what constraints must be met in order to use the profiles correctly to achieve interoperability.

- 1.
In a constrainable profile.

Or not modified in this case.
- 3.
In a real scenario, a code system typically will be the initial “starting” point.
- 4.
This applies to any requirement defined by a conformance construct (e.g., usage, cardinality).
- 5.
In this context, the term Compatibility is used to assess whether a profile is compatible to a new profile that is based on an original profile.
