These articles describe the Endeavour open source technologies and services.

The technologies and services cover the following areas

Decision support services, for example calculating risks of heart disease or stroke
Information models describing the Endeavour information model approach encompassing ontologies, data models, value sets, and queries
Ontology services for using and managing ontologies , data models, value sets
Query and data set services for maintaining feature and query libraries
Address matching and UPRN allocation for single individuals, households or large populations.
Health record APIs. Describes a set of APIs for accessing health records using FHIR.

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

They all operate in three ways:

Use of web or online user interfaces to enable users to use the services directly. Provides viewing or downloading facilities
User of Web APIs for systems to interoperate so that the resources can be used as part of an integrated offering
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.

+These articles describe the Endeavour open source technologies and services.
-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.
+The technologies and services cover the following areas

+* [[FHIR Get Structured Record API|Health record APIs.]] Describes a set of APIs for accessing health records using FHIR.
-These articles provide background to the ideas, philosophies and approaches that have resulted in the Discovery Data Service. They cover the original objectives, the approach to collaboration and shared tenancy, and the information governance rules that underpin the way privacy and sharing are balanced.
+All of these services have live and development deployments and are free to access.
-*[[What_is_Discovery|What is Discovery]]? This article describes what Discovery is and how it is conceptualised at a very high level

-These articles provide information about the services, structure, and functionality&nbsp;that operate using the Discovery Common Information Model;&nbsp;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:
+These technologies form part of a broader set technologies, many of which have been used by a large scale [https://wiki.discoverydataservice.org/index.php?title=Welcome_to_the_Discovery_Data_Service_knowledge_base NHS  London Data linkage and normalisation Service]  Known as Discovery, covering a population of 7 million registered citizens.
-*[[Health_data_model_content|Discovery health data model&nbsp;]]&nbsp;- a very high level overview of the types of data held within the Discovery data stores
-*[[Information_model_service|Information model services]] - the technical services that enable the common information model to be used
-*[[Information_modelling_language|Discovery information modelling language ]]- describes the language(s) used to build&nbsp; the information model and for computers to process the model contents&nbsp;
-= Operational and interoperability topics =
-These articles provide information about how systems can interoperate with Discovery and provide further links into test APIs, schemas, and other documentation associated with data formats for sending and receiving data.
-*[[Secure_publication_to_the_DDS|Secure publication to the DDS]]&nbsp;- lists the technical interfaces in place for receiving data from publishers.
-*[[Remote_Subscriber_Database_(RSD)_SQL_guide|Remote Subscriber Database (RSD) SQL guide]]&nbsp;- provides information for subscribers that wish to host their own copy of data supplied by Discovery.
-*[[Generic_publisher_system_data_requirements|Generic publisher system data requirements]]&nbsp;- provides a set of guides for systems that are publishing data through the Discovery Data Service.
-*[[Current_data_sets|Current data sets]]&nbsp;- the broad types of data received from various systems
-*[[Publishers_and_mapping_to_the_commmon_model|Publishers and mapping to the commmon model]] - provides the specification for how supplier system information is mapped to the common model, using FHIR as the intermediary
-= Services =
-These articles provide information about the services provided by the Discovery Data Service and the underlying functionality.
-*[[Simple_generic_query_service|Simple Generic query Service]]&nbsp;- describes a service that provides data on request for data&nbsp;that might be conceptually very complex, but falls into simple common patterns.
-*[[Information_model_service|Information model services]] - the technical services that enable the common information model to be used
-*Get health record -&nbsp;describes the service that obtains a fully structured health record about a person, in real time via a standards based API.
-*Record publication service -describes the service that publishes data from health records for specific purposes, often immediately on receipt.
-*Data set distribution service -&nbsp;describes the service that distributes sets of data for populations of patients where the definition is complex or where the subscriber is hosting a copy of the data permanently
-= Technologies =
-These articles provide information about the technologies used in the Discovery Data services, including summaries of considerations and tests that have been undertaken when selecting technologies.
-*[[Graph_or_relational_databases|Graph versus relational database&nbsp;]]&nbsp;- considers two of the approaches for storing the main health care record stores.
