The information model server provides a set of services that help systems and users access the content of the Discovery common information model.
The server is accessed via a set of APIs, which are made available either as stored procedures, or REST APIs, (depending on whether a system is using a co-located instance of the model, or whether accessing remotely).
The following lists the functional groupings of the IM Server:
Value sets
Value set generator
Generates run time value sets as defined by a value set definition, thus supporting advanced subsumption_testing against health care records.
The value set generator API accepts the IRI of a value set either in full, or relative to a baseline IRI e.g. http://DiscoveryDataService/InformationModel#VSET_Covid1 and returns a list of concepts to be used in the query. The API supports both core concepts and original codes that have been mapped to the core concepts.
