Item Description

separator /

The service RetrieveProject is not a public service because it is only relevant for users who access these services via the database directly in order to produce a publication.
query part and query parameters separator ?
Query parameter Description
id The id of the concept, value set, template or dataset. For instance an OID like: 123 or 123.123.123
code The code of the concept.
codeSystem The codesystem of the concept. For instance an OID like: 123 or 123.123.123
assigningAuthority The responsibleAuthority/code/@code of the OID's returned must match.
effectiveDate The date of the object that id points to as YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss (2011-12-31T00:00:00). If no date is entered, all versions will be returned. If you use the key word 'dynamic' the latest/current version is returned.
language Language qualifier for contents, for instance language=en-US. When no language is entered, the content default language is used. Use language=* for "all languages"
ui User Interface language. When no language is entered, the server default language is used. By default English should be available.
format The desired return format, for instance format=xml (or: html, csv, pdf). When no format parameter is entered, the default return format is HTML. The HTML and PDF formats have no further specification and are not meant to be automatically parsed.
name The name of value set or template. The value set name (valueSet/@name) or OID-name (id/@name) or template name (template/@name) must be an exact match.
prefix The project prefix (/decor/project/@prefix) must be an exact match.
mode The return type. For instance 'mode=verbatim' returns the project as-is. 'mode=compiled' will resolve external references so the result is self-contained. Please note that 'compiled' is meant to be used for HTML- and Schematrongeneration. The returntype 'compiled' is unsuitable for other uses.
download If download=true, will trigger a download instead of showing output in the browser.
hidecolumns Which columns should be hidden in the returned view. For instance 'hidecolumns=53' will hide columns 3 and 5. After 9, continue in hexadecimal (a, b, c, etc.). Is only applicable for HTML views. See Hidecolumns mapping.

Error handling

When a resource does not exist (either the queried format does not exist, or the resource does not exist in that language, etc) a HTTP 404 error is returned.

Local value sets vs external value sets

In DECOR value sets can be defined locally (only applicable to that DECOR project). Value sets that are defined locally in the DECOR project, do have an id (OID) and a (local) name. Local value sets can contain a statusCode.

External value sets always contain an id (OID).

A value set must always contain an effectiveDate, which contains the "creation" date of the value set.
