The articles describe and define Discovery Data Service functionality and technology; the architecture that underpins the data service software, the components that make up the service, the testing and assurance processes, and the resources, technologies, and software that are used to host, develop, and support the service.
These articles describe the Endeavour open source technologies and services.  


Types of articles are described below
The technologies and services cover the following areas


== Information model related topics ==
* [[Decision support services|Decision support services,]] for example calculating risks of heart disease or stroke
* [[Information modelling|Information models]] describing the Endeavour information model approach encompassing ontologies, data models, value sets, and queries
* [[Information model service|Ontology services]] for using and managing ontologies , data models, value sets
* [[Information model service|Query and data  set services]] for maintaining feature and query libraries
* [[ASSIGN- UPRN address match application|Address matching and UPRN allocation]] for single individuals, households or large populations.
* [[FHIR Get Structured Record API|Health record APIs.]] Describes a set of APIs for accessing health records using FHIR.


These articles provide information about the services, structure, functionality, that opera using the Discovery Common Information Model, which is one of the fundamental tenets of the Discovery data service. This is the starting point for those interested in health data and the information derived from it and why Discovery may be different from other approaches.
All of these services have live and development deployments and are free to access.  


These articles include;
They all operate in three ways:


*[[Basic_health_data_categories|Basic health data categories]] which is a very high level overview of the types of data being held within Discovery data stores
# Use of web or online user interfaces to enable users to use the services directly. Provides viewing or downloading facilities
*[[Information_model_service|Information model services]] which describe the technical services that enable the common information model to be used  
# User of Web APIs for systems to interoperate so that the resources can be used as part of an integrated offering
*[[Current_data_sets|Current data sets]] which describe the broad types of data received from various systems
# Local implementations whereby local code APIs are used instead of Web APIs.


== Operational and interoperability topics ==

These articles describe the Endeavour open source technologies and services.

The technologies and services cover the following areas

All of these services have live and development deployments and are free to access.

They all operate in three ways:

  1. Use of web or online user interfaces to enable users to use the services directly. Provides viewing or downloading facilities
  2. User of Web APIs for systems to interoperate so that the resources can be used as part of an integrated offering
  3. Local implementations whereby local code APIs are used instead of Web APIs.

These technologies form part of a broader set technologies, many of which have been used by a large scale NHS London Data linkage and normalisation Service Known as Discovery, covering a population of 7 million registered citizens.
