Overview
What is a data service?
A data service is:
a standard Web service that interacts with EBX5.
SOAP data services can be dynamically generated based on data models from the 'Data Services' area.
a RESTful operation that allows interrogating the EBX5 repository.
The RESTful API does not require a service interface, it is self-descriptive through the meta-data returned.
They can be used to access some of the features available through the user interface.
Lineage
Lineage is used to establish user permission profiles for non-human users, namely data services. When accessing data using WSDL interfaces, data services use the permission profiles established through lineage.
