CTS2-LE REST API: Requesting Concept Details

Because of CTS2-LE_REST_API:_Resolve_Value_Set is a multi modal operation, the operation can be used to retrieve single codes with its preferred designation. This functionality requires that an additional parameter code is set.

Operation Syntax

Signature

root: @Path("/fhir/ValueSet")

Response webCts2Le.rest.FhirValueSets.resolveValueSet(

@Context HttpServletRequest request,

@QueryParam(value="_query") String query,

@QueryParam(value="identifier") String resource-URI,

@QueryParam(value="code") String code,

@QueryParam(value="stylesheet") String stylesheet-path)

@GET

@Produces(value={"application/xml"})

REST Call Syntax

http://<host>/WebCts2LE/rest/fhir/ValueSet?_query=expandResource&identifier=<resource-URI>&code=<code>&stylesheet=<stylesheet-path>

Parameters

_query=expandResource

fixed parameter for signaling a query on a (potentially expandable) resource

Cardinality: 1..1

identifier=<resource-URI>

<resource-URI>: URI-encoded identifier of the value set or codesystem that contains the requested code

Cardinality: 1..1

Example: identifier=urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113883.5.1050

Example: identifier=http://hl7.org/fhir/vs/administrative-gender

code=<code>

<code>: code for which the preferred designation names is requested

Cardinality: 1..1

Example: code=M

Example: code=13

stylesheet=<stylesheet-path>

<stylesheet-path>: stylesheet that will be referenced within the XML response

Cardinality: 0..1

Result

In case of an successful processing of the call, the result will an FHIR Value Set resource as defined in http://www.hl7.org/fhir/valueset.html containing the the codesystem, code and the preferred designation of the requested code.

In case of an error an error XML is returned.

Example

For instance, the call

http://<host>/WebCts2LE/rest/fhir/ValueSet?
	_query=expandResource
	&identifier=urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113883.5.1
	&code=M

retrieves only the male code

...
<expansion>
	<timestamp/>
	<contains xmlns="http://hl7.org/fhir">
		<system value="urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113883.5.1"/>
		<code value="M"/>
		<display value="Male"/>
	</contains>
</expansion>
...

The same call can be performed to check wether a (code, code system)-pair is contained in a value set. If this pair is not contained the call yields an atom response with an expansion element that does not has any contains-elements as children:

...
<expansion>
   <timestamp />
</expansion>
