A link to http://hl7-fhir.github.io/datatypes.html (1.22.0.12 HumanName) was provided by @wanghaisheng in https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/332#issuecomment-73742283

An executive summary of FHIR is available: http://hl7-fhir.github.io/summary.html

Seems to be worth a closer look.

HL7:

Founded in 1987, Health Level Seven International (HL7) is a not-for-profit, ANSI-accredited standards developing organization dedicated to providing a comprehensive framework and related standards for the exchange, integration, sharing, and retrieval of electronic health information that supports clinical practice and the management, delivery and evaluation of health services. http://www.hl7.org/

FHIR will not use JSON-LD for the next version: http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=FHIR_RDF_Mapping_-_Potential_Strategies

In any case here is some interesting background information:

It’s not that the FHIR team doesn’t believe in linked data – we do, passionately. From the beginning, we designed FHIR around the concept of linked data – the namespace we use is http://hl7.org/fhir and that resolves right to the spec. Wherever we can, we ensure that the names we use in that namespace are resolvable and meaningful on the hl7.org server (though I see that recent changes in the hosting arrangements have somehow broken some of these links). The FHIR spec, as a RESTful API, imposes a linked data framework on all implementations.
