Goals
  • Document all services that exist for EVS

  • Document Gaps and Overlap of existing services.

  • Describe importance of architecture planned services

  • Describe need for Architect role.

  • Propose possible scenarios for architecture based on services and usage

Discussion Points: Decision Points:

  • Remote users currently need to use the client jars. This is a concern for the end users. This could be done by updating CTS2 services and provide REST services to these users.
    • caDSR transition would take awhile
    • In the near term, leave the remote services as-is for them.

  • CTS2 supports all the vocabularies (including meta). EVS REST API is limited to Triple Store content using elastic search.
  • Governance of the services is critical in order to provide one central query mechanism.
  • LexEVS will no longer have the stand alone code systems. The Meta will continue to live in LexEVS. There is the possibility for Meta in EVS REST API.
  • The NLM does host UTS API. This could be something to look at.
  • Sorting and Ranking is important for results, but this isn't available in the EVS REST API yet.
  • End users do not have resources to upgrade or the funding. This might be done be the EVS team (rewriting code for interaction layer, etc).
  • CTS2 REST results - different than the EVS REST API.
  • caDSR and Browser are the primary consumers of APIs.
  • Ability for usage analytics - what types of queries being run and what content.
  • Infrastructure
    • Cloud
      • FedRAMP - provides information about cloud services.
      • EVS API noted issues with remote API dropping connections when communicating from the cloud.

Decision Points:

  • Determine a level of governance and architecture for EVS related services.
  • Work with the caDSR team to transition from remote API to REST Services. (TBD?)
  • Propose ability to capture usage statistics for analytics of what types of queries are being run, content searched, etc.
  • Determine a REST service for Metathesaurus and determine best how to support the end users.
  • Continued transition of stand alone coding systems to EVS REST API.
  • Transition of LexEVS search knowledge to the EVS API development team
    • utilize the services spreadsheet
  • Provide LexEVS resources to help with EVS API.
  • Investigate infrastructure considerations (cloud environments?).
  • Single Service coverage (provide single search mechanism)
    • REST Service for Meta
    • EVS REST API
    • LexEVS API
