The following operations are supported. For a formal definition, please review the Service Description.

• GetControlledVocabulary
  
  

  Get the terms and definitions of controlled vocabulary (CV), which are dynamically updated from http://his.cuahsi.org/mastercvreg/cv11.aspxTypically used when the user requires terms from these controlled vocabularies to provide additional filtering parameters.

• GetCountOrData
  
  

  DEPRECATED use GetSeriesMetadataCountOrData) Provides information about metadata stored in the catalog.Tycally used to search the catalog.

  
  It can return
  • 1.The count of timeseries that match the provided parameters.
  • 2.the statistics for the distribution of all facets for timeseries that match the provided parameters.e.g how many timeseries have the datatype 'average', or the keyword 'precipitation'.
  • 3.the complete set of all metadata records for timeseries that match the provided parameters.

  The return can be defined by providing the appropriate parameters in the request.The return of this request can not exceed 25.000 timeseries.

• GetMappedVariables
  
  

  DEPRECATED Input conceptid (as defined in ontology tree) for specified services, return the corresponding variable information including variablename, variablecode, valuetype, timeUnitID, datatype, etc.

• GetMappedVariables2
  
  

  DEPRECATED Input conceptid (as defined in ontology tree) for specified services, return the corresponding variable information including variablename, variablecode, valuetype, timeUnitID, datatype, etc.

• GetSearchableConcepts
  
  

  Get a list of searchable concept keywords from the HIS ontology

  Typical use to retrieve list of concepts keywords that can be used as an input parameter for keyword searches or pre - populate fields in e.g. in HydroDesktop.

• GetSeriesCatalogForBox
  
  

  DEPRECATED Returns metadata for timeseries that match the provided parameters.The returned object contains a subset of the available metadata sufficient for basic searches.

  
  

  It does not contain data for e.g Quality control level or source

• GetSeriesCatalogForBox2
  
  

  Returns metadata for timeseries that match the provided parameters.The returned object contains a subset of the available metadata sufficient for basic searches.

  
  

  It does not contain data for e.g Quality control level or source

• GetSeriesCatalogForBox3
  
  

  Returns metadata for timeseries that match the provided parameters. The returned object contains the full set of the available metadata sufficient for complex searches.

  It does contain data for e.g Qualitycontrol Level or Source

• GetSeriesMetadataCountOrData
  
  

  Provides information about metadata stored in the catalog.Tycally used to search the catalog.
  It can return

  • 1.The count of timeseries that match the provided parameters.
  • 2.the statistics for the distribution of all facets for timeseries that match the provided parameters.e.g how many timeseries have the datatype 'average', or the keyword 'precipitation'.
  • 3.the complete set of all metadata records for timeseries that match the provided parameters.

  The return can be defined by providing the appropriate parameters in the request.The return of this request can not exceed 25.000 timeseries.

• GetServicesInBox
  
  

  DEPRECATED Get registered data services within a specified lat/lon box.

  Typically used to subset the data services and use the result as an input for filtering

• GetServicesInBox2
  
  

  Get registered data services within a specified set of coordinates.

  Typically used to subset the data services and use the result as an input for filtering

• GetSites
  
  

  Get a list of site information within a specified lat/lon box, and other specified query parameters.

  Typically used to subset sites dataset and plot the returned sites on a map

• GetSitesInBox
  
  

  DEPRECATED Get a list of site information within a specified lat/lon box, and other specified query parameters.

  Typically used to subset sites dataset and plot the returned sites on a map

• GetSitesInBox2
  
  

  Get a list of site information within a specified lat/lon box, and other specified query parameters.

  Typically used to subset sites dataset and plot the returned sites on a map

• GetVariables
  
  

  Get a list of variable information within a specified lat/lon box, and other specified query parameters.

• GetWaterOneFlowServiceInfo
  
  

  Get all registered data services from http://hiscentral.cuahsi.org/pub_services.aspx. GetWaterOneFlowServiceInfo can be regarded as a special case of GetServicesInBox2, as the former requests the returns for the global area.

• GetWordList
  
  

  DEPRECATED This prefix search routine provides a word match list for HD.

• getOntologyTree
  
  

  Get the subnodes (both leaf and non-leaf) for input concept keyword in the Ontology Tree.

  • Keyword is one of the search criteria used in HydroClient (refer to notes in this section).
  • Keyword is also used when data provider uploads data and try to make the uploaded data comply with WaterOneFlow schema. Generally, the user is required to choose a leaf keyword in the ontology tree for each input variable name, so that the newly added variable name is searchable in HisCentral catalog.
  • GetOntologyTree() returns nodes in the full ontology tree.
  
  

• getOntologywithOption
  
  

  Get the subnodes (both leaf and non-leaf) for input concept keyword in the Ontology Tree.

  • Keyword is one of the search criteria used in HydroClient (refer to notes in this section).
  • Keyword is also used when data provider uploads data and try to make the uploaded data comply with WaterOneFlow schema. Generally, the user is required to choose a leaf keyword in the ontology tree for each input variable name, so that the newly added variable name is searchable in HisCentral catalog.
  • The current HisCentral catalog has timeseries data that utilize a subset of the total keywords in the < strong > full ontology tree.Hereafter, the ontology tree composed of the nodes with existing variables in HisCentral catalog(i.e., those ~500 keywords) is referred as partial ontology tree.
  • GetOntologyTree() returns nodes in the full ontology tree, while GetOntologyTreewithOption() adds the option of returning nodes in the partial ontology tree
  
  

• getSearchablePaths
  
  

  DEPRECATED

• getSeriesCatalogInBoxPaged
  
  

  DEPRECATED Returns metadata for timeseries that match the provided parameters in predefined subsets. The returned object contains a subset of the available metadata sufficient for basic searches. it does not contain dat for e.g Qualitycontrol Level or Source

  Typical use was to help with paginatin of results. Not supported anymore
