Catalogues REST
API change historyCatalogues (Harmonized controlled terminology) are a key element in the process of data validation and reporting. A harmonized terminology is used to collect and analyse data in a coherent way with the aim to support scientific research.
This API allows to retrieve the catalogues published on Data Collection Framework.
CatalogueList
This operation allows downloading the list of catalogues, possibly restricted to a certain catalogue group or data collection.
Download catalogues for a data collection
To obtain the catalogues related to a data collection the getCatalogueList method must be invoked passing as parameter (arg1) the data collection code and setting the output type (arg2) as XML. The web service replies with a message containing the list of catalogues in XML format. If the data Collection does not exist then operation reply with the following soap message: Invalid data collection code.
Download catalogues in a group
To obtain the catalogues in a group the getCatalogueList method must be invoked passing as parameter (arg0) the catalogue group code and the format of the output (arg2) as XML. The web service replies with a message containing the list of catalogues in XML format.
