Functionalities of the EDCS API
The EDCS implementation includes the specification of mechanisms to access and use dictionary content.
- Extract Dictionary Content*
- E.g., given a specified EDCS Dictionary and an entry Label (denoting a concept in that dictionary), what is its Definition or Code?
- Search Dictionary Content*
- E.g., given a specified Organizational Schema and a Group Label, what are the Labels of its member Classifications?
- Convert values among different Units of Measure / Scales
- E.g., given a value in miles/hour, what is its corresponding value in metres/second?
