This document contains Representational State Transfer (REST) Bindings to the CTS2 OMG Specification. Certain patterns are used throughout the document: <ul> <li>Accessing a Resource By a 'Name'</li> A CTS2 Resource may be accessed by its unique identifier, or 'Name.' To access a CTS2 Resource by name, the convention is <br/> <code> /{resourceType}/{name} </code> <br/> <li>Accessing a Resource By a 'URI'</li> A CTS2 Resource may also be accessed by its URI or "AlternatemID." This convention varies slighly from the 'by name' convention in that the URI is not specified in the URL path, but as a query parameter. This is done to eliminate the need for complex encoding that would be necessary to embed a URI into a URL path. The convention for accessing a resource by its URI is <br/> <code> /{resourceType}byuri?uri={uri|alternateId} </code> <br/> <li>Accessing a 'Directory' of Resources</li> In CTS2, a group of like Resources is called a 'Directory.' A Directory may be filtered and sorted based on client input. Also, Directories are pageable, with hrefs to included the next and previous page. The convention for accessing a Directory of resources is <br/> <code> /{resourceType}s </code> <br/> <li>Creating a Resource</li> CTS2 Resources are created via a 'POST' request to the <code> /{resourceType} </code> URL path. The request will retrun a reference to the created Resource in the form of the 'Location' HTTP Header. <li>Updating a Resource</li> CTS2 Resources are created via a 'PUT' request to the the actaul 'Location' of the Resource. This in effect completely replaces the existing Resource with the new Resource. <li>Deleting a Resource</li> A DELETE request is similar to a UPDATE request, exception that the 'DELETE' HTTP method is used. </ul> <br/> <br/> For more information about CTS2, visit the <a href="http://informatics.mayo.edu/cts2">CTS2 Site<a> <br/> <br/> <b/>NOTE:<b/> Each 'by URI' request must accept any parameters that are allowed by the 'read by name' requests. For example, '/codesystembyuri?uri=http://some/cs' must accept the same parameters as the equivalent 'read by name' request, such as '/codesystem/CS'. <i>BaseService</i> contains the components that are common to any CTS2 service implementation. It includes information about the service itself, the namespaces and formats that are known to the service and the structural, functional and representation profiles that are supported by the service instance. An optional extension to the <i>AssociationQueryService</i> that allows <i>AssociationDirectoryURI</i>s to be resolved as graphs. A service that allows the creation and modification of semantic assertions made by an ontology or code system. A service that allows the specification and rendering of useful subsets of associations. <i>AssociationQueryService</i> allows associations to be restricted by subject, predicate, target, asserting ontology, etc. It also provides set operations that allow the results of restrictions to be combined. A service that provides direct read access to associations A service that transforms various external formats into the CTS2 <i>Association</i> model and visa versa. Return an expression that represents <i>associationList</i> in the named <i>languageAndSyntax</i>. A collection of complete <i>Association</i> resources that meet a specified criteria. An expression in a given ontology language and syntax that describes or defines an entity. Examples might include descriptions of entities in Manchester OWL Syntax, RDF, SNOMED Concept Expression, etc. An exception in the <i>OntologyLanguageAndSyntax</i> parameter. The supplied ontology syntax is not supported by the service The supplied ontology language is not supported by the service An extension to the <i>AssociationQueryService</i> that allows the posing of "what if" questions. A service that allows the creation, update and deletion of concept domain bindings A service that provides direct read access to bindings that are asserted between concept domains and value sets. A service that allows the enumeration, query and filtering of the concept domain bindings known to the system A service that provides direct read access to <i>EntityDescriptions </i>by namespace/name or URI in the context of a particular code system or code system version. A service that allows the selection, manipulation and rendering of sets of <i>EntityDescriptions</i>. A service that provides a historical perspective on what changes occurred to a given <i>EntityDescription</i>. A service that transforms various external formats into the CTS2 <i>EntityDescription</i> model and visa. versa. Transform the list of entity descriptions in <i>entityList</i> into the semantics and syntax specified in <i>toLanguageAndSyntax</i>. The language and syntax of an expression in an ontology. Language identifies the expression semantics (e.g. OWL 2.0, RDF, SNOMED Compositional Expression, etc) and syntax identifies how it is represnted (e.g. XML, text/plain, xml/rdf, manchester syntax, etc) a collection of complete <i>Entity</i> resources that meet a specified criteria An expression in a given ontology language and syntax that describes or defines an entity. Examples might include descriptions of entities in Manchester OWL Syntax, RDF, SNOMED Concept Expression, etc. The supplied ontology language is not supported by the service The supplied ontology syntax is not supported by the service Transform <i>entityExpression</i> into a list of one or more <i>EntityDescription</i>s in the context of the supplied <i>codeSystemVersion</i>. Carries either a local identifier (<i>name</i>) or a URI (<i>uri</i>) that references a resource in the service. <i>NameOrURI</i> is only used as an input parameter and its type is always defined by the usage context. Note that service calls that use the <i>name</i> option may not be portable across implementations, as there is no guarantee that any two CTS2 service implementations will use the same local identifiers for the same resources. An expression in a given ontology language and syntax that describes or defines an entity. Examples might include descriptions of entities in Manchester OWL Syntax, RDF, SNOMED Concept Expression, etc. a collection of complete <i>Entity</i> resources that meet a specified criteria The referenced <i>CodeSystemVersion</i> is not recognized by the service The entity expression is syntactically incorrect and cannot be parsed An exception in the <i>OntologyLanguageAndSyntax</i> parameter. A service that enables the creation, modification and removal of map catalog entries. Note that the attributes and methods inherited from <i>BaseMaintenanceService</i> have been hidden for the sake of simplicity. A service that provides direct read access to <i>MapCatalogEntries.</i> A service that provides a historical perspective on the changes that occurred in a map catalog over time. Interface for creating and updating the descriptions of specific versions of maps. Note that the attributes and methods that were inherited from <i>BaseMaintenanceService</i> have been hidden for the sake of clarity. A service that provides a historical perspective on the changes that occurred in a map catalog over time. A service that allows the creation, update and deletion of <i>MapEntries</i> within a <i>MapVersion</i> A service providing direct access to entries in map versions. Services that allow the filtering and query of entries in a <i>MapVersion</i>. These services allow the filtering of entries by rule and target content. A service that allows the evolution of a map entry to be retrieved and viewed. A service that interprets and resolves maps <i>StatementReadService</i> provides direct access to statements - assertions about CTS2 resources, entities, associations, concept domain bindings and map entries. <i>StatementQueryService </i>provides an ability to filter directories of statements by subject, predicate, target and/or model element. It should be noted that the functionality provided her has significant overlap with specifications such as SPARQL and the API4KB. It is not the intent of the CTS2 specification to compete with or offer alternatives to these specifications. The key differences between this API and those mentioned above is the <i>Statement</i> model. First, it differentiates between simple resource URIs and the namespace/name structure in entity references. Secondly it provides bridge information that identifies how CTS2 structures were derived from more atomic information. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, it provides provenance and history for the sets of assertions in statements. The query service itself could (and probably should) be implemented using triple stores, SPARQL, or other alternatives. The <i>StatementHistoryService</i> provides the ability to view the history of changes for an individual statement. A key to implementing this service is the ability to uniquely identify a statement, which is the equivalent of constructing some sort of identifier in the process of reification. The CTS2 specification is silent when it comes to how these identifiers are formed, but does note that the ability to talk meaningfully about statements globally (vs. within the context of a single service) requires that a reproducible algorithm needs to be available. A service that allows the creation, update and removal of value set definitions. A service that provides the change history for a value set definition. The <i>ValueSetResolutionService</i> provides the ability to resolve value set definitions against code system versions - versions that can either be supplied directly or via version tags. The resolution of a value set can be returned as a iterable directory,, an entity directory that can be used in other entity directory functions (useful only if the service supports the <b>ENTITY</b> profile), or as a resolved value set. Value sets can also be tested for the presence or absence of entities.
