value="Polaris profile for managing clinical document references and their content. This profile provides a standardized
approach for document exchange between EMR systems, supporting inline document storage, comprehensive metadata,
and clinical context preservation. Aligned with CA-Core+ standards and CII requirements for Canadian healthcare.
Key features:
- Flexible document storage: inline base64-encoded data, blob storage URI, or both
- Flexible categorization using standard terminologies
- Support for multiple document attachments
- Clinical context through encounter references
- Authentication and provenance tracking"/>

The use of this method is up to the policy domain such as the XDS Affinity Domain or other Trust Domain where all parties including sender and recipients are trusted to appropriately tag and enforce.

value="A URL where the document content can be retrieved from Polaris-managed blob storage. This provides an alternative

Usage guidelines:
- URLs MUST point to Polaris-managed blob storage (not arbitrary external URLs)
- When both 'data' and 'url' are present, they MUST represent the same document content
- At least one of 'data' or 'url' MUST be present (enforced by invariant attachment-has-data-or-url)
This field supports scenarios where:
- Documents are too large for efficient inline transport
- Consumers prefer lazy-loading document content
- Blob storage provides better performance characteristics"/>
