When an object is a subresource on another object (e.g. conceptDatatype property on Concept object) the full ConceptDatatype object is not returned.  Instead a "Ref" kind of class with String properties for uuid, uri, and a display fills the concept.conceptDatatype property.  The ref looks like this:

Code Block
langjavascript
titleRef example
langjavascript
concept.conceptDatatype \->
{
display: "Numeric",
uuid: "8d4a4488-c2cc-11de-8d13-0010c6dffd0f",
uri: "/ws/rest/conceptdatatype/8d4a4488-c2cc-11de-8d13-0010c6dffd0f"
}

Create a concept
POST to /ws/rest/concept
with content:
conceptDatatype: Numeric
conceptClass: test
name: HEMOGLOBIN
locale: en
description: "Stuff in the blood" (<-- this is an optional include)
returns:
success = 201 CREATED
location: http://.../ws/rest/concept/newconceptuuid
content: default rep of created concept

PUT to /ws/rest/concept/2dw23-z113-234234-2sdfr3
with content:
conceptClass: "Symptom"
description: "a new description"
returns:
success = 204 NO CONTENT
or no concept found for given uuid = 404 NOT FOUND error code returned
or on failure = 400 or 500 error code returned

...

POST to /ws/rest/concept/theconceptsuuid/name
with content:
name:a name
locale:en_US

type:Fully Specified
...other name properties optional

...

Add a short name to a concept
POST to /ws/rest/concept/theconceptuuid/shortname

Remove a short name from a concept:
(same options as Add Name To Concept/Remove Name From Concept. The point is that short name is a separate property, not an alternate name)

Edit an existing name (only props sent will get changed)
PUT to /ws/rest/concept/theconceptuuid/name/thenameuuid
localePreferred:true
locale:en_US
name:a modified name

Add member to set needs work
PUT to /ws/rest/concept/theconceptuuid/members
beforeOtherMember:othermemberuuid (assigns isSet=true on the set if not already specified. if beforeOtherMember is null, thememberuuid is put at the end of the list)

Add many members to a set
POST to /ws/rest/concept/thesetconceptuuid/members
memberUuids:2342349323, 2349234923420394, snmcnmw4923409234234, 2349284347nhj3
(Replaces all with the given order)

...

Are treated as optional properties on the concept class:
GET to /ws/rest/concept/349882349823
with representation: v=custom(default,conceptNumeric)
will return:
name: Weight (KG)
locale: en
retired: false
conceptNumeric:
   { hiAbsolute: 1000
     hiCritical: 150
     ....
     units: kg
     precise: false
