To facilitate the integration of terminologies into applications, various terminology services application programming interfaces (API) have been developed in the recent past. In this study, three publicly available terminology services API, RxNav, UMLSKS and LexBIG, are compared and functionally evaluated with respect to the retrieval of information from one biomedical terminology, RxNorm, to ...

FunnyQT1 is a new model querying and transformation approach which is implemented as an API for the functional, JVM-based Lisp-dialect Clojure. It provides several sub-APIs for implementing different kinds of queries and transformations. For example, there is a model-to-model transformation API, and there is an in-place transformation API for writing programmed graph transformations. FunnyQT cu...

The naming extensions to the Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface (GSS-API) provide a mechanism for applications to discover authorization and personalization information associated with GSS-API names. The Extensible Authentication Protocol GSS-API mechanism allows an Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) peer to provide authorization attributes alongside an ...

UNLABELLED The Ensembl database makes genomic features available via its Genome Browser. It is also possible to access the underlying data through a Perl API for advanced querying. We have developed a full-featured Ruby API to the Ensembl databases, providing the same functionality as the Perl interface with additional features. A single Ruby API is used to access different releases of the Ense...

This paper presents design and implementation of a remote Procedure call (RPC) API for programming applications on Peer-to-Peer environments. The P2P-RPC API is designed to address one of neglected aspect of Peer-to-Peer the lack of a simple programming interface. In this paper we examine one concrete implementation of the P2PRPC API derived from OmniRPC (an existing RPC API for the Grid based ...

NeXus is a joint effort of both the synchrotron and neutron scattering community to develop a common data exchange format based on HDF. In order to simplify access to NeXus files a NeXus-API is provided. This NeXus-API has been restructured and expanded to cover both HDF versions 4 and 5. Only small changes to the API were necessary in order to accomplish this. A foundation was laid to extend t...

lymph nodes from the same mice were at almost identical levels. This provided a basis for estimating A-particle formation of the whole body from the API of a single node. The following observations were made: (a) in 322 cases of spontaneous leukemias, API levels varied greatly from case to case, ranging from 0 to 80; (b) males and the aged contained more A particles than their respective counte...
