Authoring Services

Overview

Authoring Services is a component of the Snomed Authoring Platform.

This REST API has been designed to provide a number of key functions related to workflow and UI support which are not suitable for implementation within a general purpose terminology server.

Capabilities

• Support for Tasks and Projects on top of the Terminology Server branches
  • Workflow and Transitions (via Atlassian Jira)
  • Task lists
    • Classification status from Terminology Service
    • RVF task branch Validation status (via Orchestration Service)
• Task Review Functionality
  • Lightweight user messaging system (backed by MySQL)
• Interface to the Release Validation Service
• Branch status monitoring
• User Interface Notifications
• UI State Persistence (to support the Authoring-UI component)
• US / GB translation automation

Quick Start

Use Maven to build the executable jar and run:

mvn clean package
java -Xmx1g -jar target/authoring-services*.jar

Access the service API documentation at http://localhost:8081/authoring-services.

Setup

Configuration options

The default configuration of this Spring Boot application can be found in application.properties. The defaults can be overridden using command line arguments, for example set a different HTTP port:

For other options see Spring Boot Documentation.

The default username and password (user:password) can be changed using the security.user.name and security.user.password properties.
