<h1>Web service interface for the Alignment server</h1>
<h2>REST interface</h2>
<p>
The Alignment server provides a REST interface for accessing the
functions available on the server. Each request is an URL starting
with a prefix, e.g., http://aserv.inrialpes.fr/rest/. The request type
is identified by a string followed by a question mark, e.g., match?,
and parameters are given in the classical URL syntax, e.g.,
debug=true&level=1.
</p>
<p>
The color of the items correspond to the panel in the browser interface
where these actions are found.
</p>
<p>
The result of these requests are provided in XML (default) or JSON.
In the sequel, we describe the various request types.
They can be obtained by:
<div class="terminal">
$ curl -L -H "Accept: text/xml" '<URL>'
</div>
</p>
<p>
The <tt>msgid</tt> and <tt>in-reply-to</tt> elements are not
compulsory and may not be present in messages.
</p>
<p style="background-color: yellow;">
Beware: URIs within the <URL> above should be URLEncoded.
This is particularly true of '#' that do not pass through Java URL decoding.

<p>Parameters:
<br /><b>onto1</b> and <b>onto2:</b> the URLs of ontologies to be matched,
<br /><b>method:</b> the name of a matching method available on the server,
see <a href="#listmethods">listmethods</a> (default: fr.inrialpes.exmo.align.impl.method.StringDistAlignment).
<br /><b>force:</b> a boolean (default: false) which forces the server to
create a new alignment even if one is already available.<br />
otherwise, the server first tries to find
an existing alignment for the two ontologies. If no alignment is
found a new alignment will be produced.
<br /><b>async:</b> a boolean (default: false) requiring the matching
to be asynchronous, in which case the server immediately returns the
URI that will be assigned to the resulting alignment. The alignment
will be available at a later moment. By default, matching is
synchronous, i.e., the server answers only once the alignment process
has returned an alignment.

<br /><b>force:</b> a boolean (default: false) which forces the server to
create a new alignment even if one is already available.<br />
otherwise, the server first tries to find
an existing alignment for the two ontologies. If no alignment is
found a new alignment will be produced.
<br /><b>sym:</b> a boolean (default: false) requiring to compute the
alignments in a symmetric fashion.

<!--h2>Unsupported features</h2>
<p>These features may have been implemented and may become standard at
some point. For the moment, they are not.

<h2>Potential other features</h2>
<p>Here are some feature that could eventually be implemented if
someone has a need for them.</p>
<p>Getting metadata by keys (one by one).</p>
<p>findNetworksWithOntologies for finding network containing

<h2>Note about the SOAP interface</h2>
<p>
As of version 4.0 of the Alignment API, the SOAP and REST interface
are aligned: the arguments are the same and the message answers are
the same.
</p>
<p>
The SOAP protocol is described in a WSDL file available from the
server through the wsdl request.
</p>
<p>
Form of requests:
<pre>

and answers:
<div class="xml">

<h2>Changes introduced in version 4<a name="version4"></a></h2>
<ul>
<li>The content of <tt>classList</tt> is now <tt>classname</tt>
(instead of <tt>method</tt>, <tt>service</tt>, or <tt>renderer</tt>) (REST & SOAP);</li>
<li><tt>cut</tt> is now <tt>trim</tt> (REST & SOAP);</li>
<li><tt>method</tt> in <tt>trim</tt> is now <tt>type</tt> (REST & SOAP);</li>
<li>All primitives may return <tt>in-reply-to</tt> and may send <tt>msgid</tt> (REST);</li>
<li><tt>listevaluators</tt> has been added (REST & SOAP);</li>
<li>The <tt>alid</tt> parameter for identying alignment ids in requests is now replaced by <tt>id</tt> (SOAP);</li>
<li>The <tt>id</tt> parameter for identying messages is now replaced by <tt>msgid</tt> (SOAP);</li>
</ul>
<p>
In the examples/wservice directory, there is a sample application,
AlignmentClient, that shows how to implement a web service client for
the Alignement server. It is able to work with both the REST and the
SOAP interface.
