Overview

Documents the REST Metadata Service.

For a self-documenting Swagger API, see http://snomed.terminology.tools/term-server-rest/index.html.

This is a placeholder page with basic information and will be developed to fully document this aspect of the system.

Details

The internal metadata API provides fine grained access to all terminology metadata information. For example, there are methods to access available module information, description types, and the hierarchical relationship type.  Additionally, there are methods for accessing the list of available terminologies and their versions.

The Metadata REST API is designed such that applications can load and cache metadata on initialization, and therefore not require additional callbacks to the service unless metadata is known to have changed. Thus the supported calls are:

• Get latest terminology versions
• Get all terminology versions
• Get all metadata for a given terminology (and version)
