EVSApplicationService - evsSearch and search - and LexEVS Counterparts

EVSApplicationService

evsSearch and search

These methods are replaced either by the LexEVS API or the LexEVS caCORE SDK Data Service 'search' method. This uses the standard caCORE SDK API. More information about the caCORE SDK can be obtained on the caCORE SDK site.

EVSQuery Methods and LexEVS Counterparts

...

getTree

All 'getTree' functionality is replaced by the LexEVS CodedNodeGraph API. For example:

...

• org.LexGrid.LexBIG.example.BuildTreeForCode
• org.LexGrid.LexBIG.example.ListHierarchy
• org.LexGrid.LexBIG.example.ListHierarchyByCode
• org.LexGrid.LexBIG.example.ListHierarchyPathToRoot

searchDescLogicConcepts

LexEVS provides many ways to restrict the result of a query. The method 'searchDescLogicConcepts' searches for matches based on a text String. To conduct similar queries using LexEVS, use the CodedNodeSet API.

...

• org.LexGrid.LexBIG.example.SoundsLike
• org.LexGrid.LexBIG.example.FindCodesForDescription

getConceptWithPropertyMatching

See example above. For Property-specific matching, see the following method in the CodedNodeSet API

...

This will ensure that each of the results will have at least one Property that matches the supplied criteria.

isSubConcept

In LexEVS, use the CodedNodeGraph API to find the immediate relations of a Concept.
For instance:

...

 Boolean areCodesRelated(NameAndValue association, ConceptReference 
sourceCode, ConceptReference targetCode, boolean directOnly) 

isRetired

Use the LexBIGServiceConvenienceMethods API method 'isCodeRetired' method.

getDescendants

Use the LexEVS HistoryService API

...

 NCIChangeEventList changeEventList = historySvc.getDescendants
(ConceptReference conceptReference);

getPropertyValues

Through the Entity class, all Properties (Presentations, Definitions, etc) are available.

...

• To find the 'Comments' of a given Entity:

  Code Block
  Entity entity = ....; Comment[] comments= entity.getComment();

• To find the non-classified Properties of a given Entity:

  Code Block
  Entity entity = ....; Property[] properties = entity.getProperties();

getPropertiesByConceptCode

To find the Properties of a given code, for example, code 'C1234' in the 'NCI Thesaurus' ontology - first obtain a 'CodedNodeSet' from the 'NCI Thesaurus' ontology:

searchSourceByAtomCode

In the NCI MetaThesaurus, fidning the 'source' of an 'Atom' is equivalent to finding the 'source' of a given Property of an Entity. Each CUI (which is equivalent to an Entity in LexEVS) may contain several Presentation Properties (Atoms or AUI's of that CUI). Each of these Presentation Properties is Qualified by a 'source-code' Qualifier, which reflects the code of this Atom in its original source, and a 'source' qualifier, which states the source itself that this Atom came from.
