The name LexEVS highlights the merging of LexGrid, LexBIG, and EVS technologies and designates an entire suite of tools. In this suite, LexGrid is the underlying model for standard storage of controlled vocabularies and ontologies. The LexBIG API is the set of services that EVS adapters use to store and retrieve terminology metadata. LexEVS APIs are a combination of convenience methods and the LexBIG API (combining LexBIG and the EVS adapters into one set of services). For detailed information, refer to the [LexEVS architecture overview|LexEVS:LexEVS 6.0 Architecture].

After you have a chance to get familiar with the LexEVS suite, consider looking through the [LexEVS:LexEVS 6.0 Functionality Overview]. This lays out everything that can be done from a developer's or ontologist's point of view.
