the URI is considered to be /locationauthorities/e14c5cee-5cbd-4b26-8b69/items/79eba6b9-03e6-46ad-ac44 and the item is the document whose CSID is 79eba6b9-03e6-46ad-ac44, and the Authority has a CSID of e14c5cee-5cbd-4b26-8b69.
Another item that is related to this item using the hierarchy capabilities of a POST or PUT to one of the above Authorities is either a parent, sibling, or child.
- A parent has a Relation that says there is a subject of the child's CSID, an object of the parent's CSID, and a predicated of RelationshipType.HAS_BROADER or "hasBroader".
- A child has a Relation that says the subject is the child's CSID, a predicated of "hasBroader", and an object of the current item's CSID.
- A sibling is an item that has a Relation that says the object is the same CSID as the current item's parent's CSID.
Query Parameters
These authorities accept the following query parameters to affect what they return:
ParameterName | ParameterValue | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
showRelations | true or false | if showRelations=true is sent, the response will include a part called relations-common-list which will contain the item, and any parents. There is a rule that says an item may only have one parent. |
showAllRelations | true or false | if showAllRelations=true is sent, the response will include a relations-common-list part that contains the item, the parent, and any siblings. |
showSiblings | true or false | if showSiblings=true is sent, the relations-common-list will include the siblings, and neither the item nor the parent. |
These parameters are mutually exclusive.
