  2. findConceptsForQuery, findRefsetsForQuery

    1. Standard string or id-based searching mechanisms for refsets or concepts.

  3. getConcept, getConceptChildren, getConceptParents, getFullConcept

    1. For accessing concept information.

    2. The "full" concept includes descriptions and relationships.

  4. getConcepts

    1. For reading a batch of concepts at once (e.g. during migration)

  5. getLanguages

    1. Determine languages supported by the integration

  6. getModules

    1. Lookup RF2 modules

  7. getReplacementConcepts
