protected InstantType lastUpdated
```
    When the resource last changed - e.g. when the version changed.
  - source
```
protected UriType source
```
    A uri that identifies the source system of the resource. This provides a minimal amount of [[[Provenance]]] information that can be used to track or differentiate the source of information in the resource. The source may identify another FHIR server, document, message, database, etc.
  - profile
```
protected List<CanonicalType> profile
```
    A list of profiles (references to [[[StructureDefinition]]] resources) that this resource claims to conform to. The URL is a reference to [[[StructureDefinition.url]]].

```
    Security labels applied to this resource. These tags connect specific resources to the overall security policy and infrastructure.
  - tag
```
protected List<Coding> tag
```
    Tags applied to this resource. Tags are intended to be used to identify and relate resources to process and workflow, and applications are not required to consider the tags when interpreting the meaning of a resource.
