Summary

Mandatory: 3 elements
Must-Support: 4 elements

Maturity: 0

 

Other representations of profile: CSV, Excel, Schematron

Notes:


Read: Location

Read identified location resource content.

GET [base]/Location/[id]

Example: GET [base]/Location/1234

Support:

  • MUST support read Location

Implementation Notes: (how to read resource)


Search: Active Status

Search based on active status of the endpoint record.

GET [base]/Endpoint?status=[code]

Example: GET [base]/Endpoint?status=active

Support: MUST support search Organization by active status code (active | suspended | inactive)

Implementation Notes: (how to search by token)


Search: Location Address Parts

Search based on address parts for postcode, suburb, and state.

GET [base]/Location?address-postalcode=[postcode]

GET [base]/Location?address-city=[suburb]

GET [base]/Location?address-state=[state]

Example:

GET [base]/Location?address-postalcode=3101

GET [base]/Location?address-city=Bundaberg

GET [base]/Location?address-state=VIC

Support:

  • SHOULD support search Location by address parts address-postalcode, address-city, address-state.
  • SHOULD support basic param=[string] search which is case and accent-insensitive search; field equals or starts with the string value.

Implementation Notes: (how to search by string)


Search: Location Distance

Search based on address within a nominated distance.

GET [base]/Location?near=[latitude]:[longitude]&near-distance=[prefix][value]|[units-system]|[units]

Example: GET [base]/Location?near=-83.694810:42.256500&near-distance=le10.0|http://unitsofmeasure.org|km

Support:

  • SHOULD support search Location within a distance.
  • SHOULD support: [prefix] fixed ‘le’ is less than or equal to distance [value] is a decimal quantity number [units-system] fixed ‘http://unitsofmeasure.org’ identifies standard distance units are used [units] distance units must support ‘km’ or ‘m’

Implementation Notes: (how to search by token) and (how to search by quantity)


Search: Combination

  • The following searches MUST be able to be perfomed together in a single request using logical AND for criteria. e.g in postcode within 2km
