14.3.10 Resource Library - Operations

This resource has 1 operation associated with it:

$data-requirementsData Requirements

For more information about operations, including how they are invoked, see Operations.

14.3.10.1 Data Requirements

The data-requirements operation aggregates and returns the parameters and data requirements for a resource and all its dependencies as a single module definition

Formal Definition (as a OperationDefinition).

URL: [base]/$data-requirements

URL: [base]/Library/[id]/$data-requirements

In Parameters:
NameCardinalityTypeBindingProfileDocumentation
target0..1Reference(Any)

The target of the data requirements operation

Out Parameters:
NameCardinalityTypeBindingProfileDocumentation
return1..1Library

The result of the requirements gathering

Note: as this the only out parameter, it is a resource, and it has the name 'return', the result of this operation is returned directly as a resource

The effect of invoking this operation is to determine the aggregate set of data requirements and dependencies for a given target resource. The result is a Library resource with a type of module-definition that contains all the parameter definitions and data requirements of the target resource and any libraries referenced by it. Implementations SHOULD aggregate data requirements intelligently (i.e. by collapsing overlapping data requirements)
