Binding and function definition issues

Current CTS approach

The current CTS specification defines the information model using UML and defines the API using the OMG Interface Definition Language (IDL). A sample IDL declaration follows:

     typedef string  OID;
     typedef OID     CodeSystemId;
     typedef string  ConceptCode;
     struct ConceptId {
          CodeSystemId codeSystem_id;
          ConceptCode  concept_code;
     };

     boolean isConceptIdValid(
          in ConceptId concept_id,
          in boolean   activeConceptsOnly
     )
     raises (UnknownCodeSystem,
             UnexpectedError);
