The CTS 2 specification uses term "Value Set" which is basically the LexEVS implementation of "Value Set Definition." Though CTS 2 implementation functions use term "Value Set" internally, the LexEVS Value Set Definition Services are used. CTS 2 specification contains several Value Set specific profiles. All of these functions can be called using CTS 2 interface. For more information refer to LexEVS 6.0 Design Document - Solution Architecture.
