Case metadata
Mercury is a repository of metadata about objects along with definitions of GUI controls enabling the generation of GUI forms. Metadata is structured information used to describe objects (cases) - it describes the logical and physical relationship between parts of a complex object (see Describing digital objects, October 21, 2016 [accessed 2020-07-01]). Mercury DB in its structures also allows for storing the necessary data allowing for the generation of edit forms and presentation pages of stored objects. Metadata is stored in a relational database (SQL). A synonym for the definition of case metadata is the case type. Below is a description of the entity.
Case type code - processing TypeCode entity data
In this article, we will discuss the description of the TypeCodeRest service. It is a REST service of the logical layer that provides basic methods for retrieving and editing data with the names of case object types. The service has its equivalents supporting the SOAP protocols ITypeCodeAction and Spring Remoting RMI /TypeCodeAction.
Case type kind - processing TypeKind entity data
In this article, we will describe the TypeKindRest service. It is a REST service of the logical layer that provides basic methods for retrieving and editing data with the names of types of case objects. The service has its equivalents supporting the SOAP protocols ITypeKindAction and Spring Remoting RMI /TypeKindAction.
Loading metadata
Metadata retrieval services can be used to build applications presenting data stored in Mercury DB (HgDB) 3.0 (see the description of Mercury Portal 2.0). They can also be used to build a query builder.
Type case - processing TypeCase entity data
In this article, we will describe the TypeCaseRest service. It is a REST service of the logical layer that provides basic methods for retrieving and editing data with the names of case object types. The service has its equivalents supporting the SOAP protocols ITypeCaseAction and Spring Remoting RMI /TypeCaseAction.
Type code with type of case last version - processing TypeCodeWithLastVersionBusiness entity data
In this article, we will discuss the description of the TypeCodeWithLastVersionBusinessRest service. It is a REST service of the logical layer that provides basic methods for retrieving and editing data with the names of case object types. The service has its counterparts supporting the OAP protocols ITypeCodeWithLastVersionBusinessAction and Spring Remoting RMI /TypeCodeWithLastVersionBusinessAction.
