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
Ontology services for using large scale ontologies and managing libraries of value sets
Query services for maintaining feature and query libraries
Address matching and UPRN allocation for single individuals, households or large populations.

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

they all operate in two ways:

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

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

Information model services. Describes the Endeavour terminology server and applications designed to aid with modelling information, building libraries of artefacts such as value sets, query definitions and data models.
Decision support services. Describes a set of internationally used health prediction functions, access via Web APIs
Address matching (UPRN ASSIGN) application and APIs, which use a transparent assured and published approach to matching addresses in order to allocate a UPRN
Health record APIs. Describes a set of APIs for accessing health records using FHIR.
Architectures of data service. Describes a high level architecture for a service, based on these technologies, that processes millions of patient records.
Github pages. Lists a number of github sites containing the repositories holding the open source software that implements the services

-The objectives of the technologies can be summarised as :
+The technologies and services cover the following areas
-''If health related data is brought together at the level of the individual in close to real time, at the level of a medium size residential population, and made available via ontologies and common data models, and then subsequently used for individual and population based decision support, great benefits to health can accrue.''
