Get CodingScheme details

Note
titleNote

This query may not work if the coding scheme in the query is not tagged as the "PRODUCTION" coding scheme.

Get CodingScheme details example

If a version is not included then LexEVS will look for a version tagged as "PRODUCTION". If no such coding scheme exists then an error will be returned.

CTS2 does a tokenized exact match.  A concept where any one token is an exact match will be included in the result set.  As a result, this returns multiple concepts.  In addition, CTS2 does not support specifying what value to search, so looks at all presentation properties, not just the EntityDescription.

caCORE to LexEVS XML Mapping

The results from CTS2 are formatted in the LexEVS model which varies somewhat from the caCORE model. This mapping spreadsheet was created to allow users to update their parsers to use the new format.
