- Common Terminology Services - Release 2 Information
LexEVS 6.0 was developed during the definition phase of CTS 2 and implements some of the early versions of that up coming standard.
- LexGrid Model and Schema
The LexGrid Model is the underlying informational model used to store terminological metadata. It is Mayo Clinic's proposal for standard storage of controlled vocabularies and ontologies. The model defines how vocabularies should be formatted and represented programmatically, and is intended to be flexible enough to accurately represent a wide variety of vocabularies and other lexically-based resources.
- LexBig Model and Schema
These are the extensions used to support EVS API adapters. The LexBIG vocabulary model extends the LexGrid model to provide unique constructs or granularity required by caBIG® that are not present in the core model.
