[bioontology-support] REST Web Services for Provisional Terms

[Jim Balhoff]

Here is some Java code I use for retrieving the permanent ID associated with a provisional term (I believe the element argument is the classBean element, using JDOM):

private static String findPermanentID(Element element) {
		for (Object item : element.getChild("relations").getChildren("entry")) {
			final Element entry = (Element)item;
			final String entryKey = entry.getChild("string").getValue();
			if (entryKey.equals("provisionalPermanentId")) {
				if (entry.getChild("null") != null) {
					return null;
				} else {
					return ((Element)(entry.getChildren("string").get(1))).getValue();
				}
			}
		}
		return null;
	}



As an aside, while it's working for me I think the schema for the provisional term data could be revised to be much easier to parse.

Best regards,
Jim
