Tool Overview
The caDSR API provides a JAVA API and a REST-like (XML-HTTP) API. A convenient way to become familiar with the caDSR APIs is through the caDSR API. The three packages in the caDSR API include:
- caDSR domain model, the principal caDSR API, is based on the ISO 11179 information model as extended to capture caDSR semantics.
- caDSR UML project model presents a UML Model view of the underlying caDSR metadata. The API objects are mapped to a set of materialized views in the underlying database.
Freestyle Search (or "fuzzy" search) engine performs weighted semantic searches on the content of Administered Items in the caDSR.
Freestyle Search Merged Into caDSR APIs
The Freestyle Search is packaged as an API and also includes a sample UI accessible from a web browser.
