Abstract

The IMS OneRoster (OR) standard addresses the exchange of student data (primarily about people, courses, enrollments and grades) between different educational systems for the specific needs of K-12. The primary use-case is the exchange of data between a Student Information System (SIS) and Learning Management System (LMS). In OR 1.2, the service has been split into three core services:

This OR 1.2 Gradebook Service provides the ability to manage the exchange of information about gradebooks in the form of results, lineItems, collections of lineItems (categories) and score-scales. It is also possible to exchange information about assessment activities in the form of assessment lineItems and assessment results. In this document the data exchange is described in an implementation-independent format i.e. using a profile of the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The service description includes the definition of the data formats that are exchanged using a set of service operations.

2. Use-cases

This Section is NOT NORMATIVE.

The set of use-cases addressed by the OR Gradebook Service are summarised in Table 2.1.

Table 2.1 - The list of use-cases enabled by this OneRoster service.
ID Use-case Description
1 To enable a system to obtain information about the set of results for an assignment.
To provide the details of the lineItem that have been created for recording the set of results for the assignment as part of a class. It MUST be possible to obtain a specific linteItem, all lineItems and the set of lineItems aligned to a class.
2 To enable a system to obtain information about the set of available scores (contained within a result object).
To provide the details of the results that have been collected. It MUST be possible to obtain a specific result, all results and the set of lineItems aligned to a class and/or lineItem and/or a student.
3 To enable a system to obtain information about the set of categories
To provide the details of the categories that have been created for aggregating lineItems. It MUST be possible to obtain a specific category all categories.
4 To enable a system to create a lineItem.
The specified lineItem is to be created on the target system. The system creating the lineItem MUST supply the sourcedId under which the object is to be created and the target system MAY reject the request if that sourcedId is already allocated.
5 To enable a system to delete a lineItem.
The specified lineItem is to be deleted i.e. subsequent attempts to 'read' this object will fail. The originally assigned sourcedId MUST NOT be reassigned. The nature of the deletion is implementation dependent.
6 To enable a system to create a result.
The specified result is to be created on the target system. The system creating the lineItem MUST supply the sourcedId under which the object is to be created and the target system MAY reject the request if that sourcedId is already allocated.
7 To enable a system to delete a result.
The specified result is to be deleted i.e. subsequent attempts to 'read' this object will fail. The originally assigned sourcedId MUST NOT be reassigned. The nature of the deletion is implementation dependent.
8 To enable a system to create a category.
The specified category is to be created on the target system. The system creating the lineItem MUST supply the sourcedId under which the object is to be created and the target system MAY reject the request if that sourcedId is already allocated.
9 To enable a system to delete a category.
The specified category is to be deleted i.e. subsequent attempts to 'read' this object will fail. The originally assigned sourcedId MUST NOT be reassigned. The nature of the deletion is implementation dependent.
10 To enable a system to obtain the set of identifiers for the academic standards assigned to a class or a school (added in version 1.2).
In this version it is possible to annotate the results and lineItems with the academic standard identifier that addresses the host object (this identifier is a CASE Item UUID [CASE, 17]). This use-case covers obtaining the set of academic standards identifiers (CASE Item UUIDs) for a specific school or class.
11 To enable a system to manage the use of scoreScales (added in version 1.2).
This management takes the form of enabling one or all scoreScales to be obtained, obtaining the scoreScales for a specific class or school, the deletion of a specific scoreScale (the originally assigned sourcedId MUST NOT be reassigned and the nature of the deletion is implementation dependent) and the creation of a speciifc scoreScale (the system creating the scoreScale MUST supply the sourcedId under which the object is to be created and the target system MAY reject the request if that sourcedId is already allocated).
12 To enable a system to manage the use of assessment lineItems (added in version 1.2).
This management takes the form of enabling one or all assesmentLineItems to be obtained, the deletion of a specific assesmentLineItem (the originally assigned sourcedId MUST NOT be reassigned and the nature of the deletion is implementation dependent) and the creation of a specific assesmentLineItem (the system creating the assessmentLineItem MUST supply the sourcedId under which the object is to be created and the target system MAY reject the request if that sourcedId is already allocated).
13 To enable a system to manage the use of assessment results (added in version 1.2).
This management takes the form of enabling one or all assesmentResults to be obtained, the deletion of a specific assesmentResult (the originally assigned sourcedId MUST NOT be reassigned and the nature of the deletion is implementation dependent) and the creation of a specific assesmentResult (the system creating the assessmentResult MUST supply the sourcedId under which the object is to be created and the target system MAY reject the request if that sourcedId is already allocated).
14 To enable a system to create a set of lineItems for a specific school or class (added in version 1.2).
This enables a system to create a collection of lineItems on the target system. A set of sourcedIds are supplied by the requesting system but these MUST be replaced by the set of sourcedIds allocated by the target system (the latter MUST be reported back to the requesting system).
15 To enable a system to create a set of results for a specific lineItem or academicSession/class (added in version 1.2).
This enables a system to create a collection of results on the target system. A set of sourcedIds are supplied by the requesting system but these MUST be replaced by the set of sourcedIds allocated by the target system (the latter MUST be reported back to the requesting system).

3. Service Architecture and Specification Model

This Section is NOT NORMATIVE.

3.1. An Abstract Representation

It is important to remember that this document contains a description of the underlying service model in terms of the abstract Application Programming Interface (API). The manner in which this abstract representation is visualized is not intended to dictate the implementation form of the Service. The breakdown of the service into its interface classes is a convenient way to document the set of behaviors. The objective for producing these interfaces is to identify and define the messages that are exchanged between the end-systems to realize the system behaviors required of the service.

The internal organization of an implementation of the full abstract API is beyond the scope of this specification. The only constraint is that the external behavior of the abstract API complies with this specification. This means that a .NET, J2EE, etc. physical implementation of this abstract API does not have to represent the functionality using the same breakdown of operations/methods. This physical implementation is not subject to the conformance specification.

It is important to note that the UML representation of the interfaces is used to help develop and document the Service Model and various Bindings. It is not a requirement for a system to implement this interface as defined i.e. to use the same parameters, etc. Conformance against this specification will be confirmed by inspecting the appropriate binding of the information model and ensuring that the relevant information is present and that different sequences of activity result in the predicted and mandated behavior. It is essential that the behaviors described by each of the operations are fully supported and that the behaviors described by different sequences are also maintained.

3.2. Service Providers and Service Consumers

The basic architectural model for the OR Gradebook Service specification is shown in Figure 3.1. In this architecture the scope of the OR Gradebook Service specification is shown as the dotted line. The scope of the interoperability is the data and behavioral models of the objects being exchanged.

Diagram of the OR Gradebook service architecture.

Figure 3.1 - The OR Gradebook service architecture.

It is important to remember that the structure of the exchanged information has NO bearing on how the same information is contained within the 'consumer' and 'provider' OR Gradebook systems (the OR Gradebook repositories in the two end-systems). It is simply a representation of the data used to facilitate exchange between the end-systems. The only constraint on the end-system repositories is that they provide data persistence consistent with the required behavior.

3.3. Gradebooks and Assessment Results

The Gradebook Service enables the exchange of gradebooks. A schematic representation of a gradebook is shown in Figure 3.2.

Diagram of the schematic representation of a gradebook.

Figure 3.2 - A schematic representation of a gradebook.

A gradebook is essentially a matrix of results assigned to a class list for a set of assignments. The key points in Figure 3.2 are:

3.3.1. Assessment Results

In this latest version, the Gradebook Service has been extended to support the exchange of detailed assessment results. A schematic representation of the structure for assessment results is shown in Figure 3.3.

Diagram of the structure of the assessment results.

Figure 3.3 - A schematic representation of the structure of assessment results.

This structure is based around an Assessment: this may be a Question and Test Interoperability (QTI) test. The assessment results structure enables the exchange of detailed scores for a simple and complex assessment. The Assessment is composed of a set of AssessmentLineItems (similar to LineItems) for which there is a set of AssessmentResults. The key differences between a LineItem and an AssessmentLineItem are:

The management of AssessmentLineItems and AssessmentResults is achieved using a separate set of operations i.e. not using the original LineItem and Result operations.

3.4. Service Objects

The set of single objects that can be exchanged between OR Gradebook end-systems are:

The set of collection objects that can be exchanged between OR Gradebook end-systems are:

The relationships between the core classes in OR Gradebook are shown in Figure 3.4.

Diagram of the  relationships between the core classes in the Gradebook data model.

Figure 3.4 - The relationships between the core classes in the Gradebook data model.

The key relationships shown in Figure 3.4 are:

3.5. Synchronous and Asynchronous Services

The OR Gradebook Service is a synchronous service i.e. the initiator is blocked until the response from the respondent is received. This means that an initiator can only have one outstanding request with a service provider. The OR Gradebook Service is available as either a 'Pull' or 'Push' service. The corresponding sequence of actions for the 'Pull' and 'Push' services are shown in Figure 3.5 and 3.6 respectively.

Diagram of the action sequence for the OR Gradebook (pull) synchronous service.

Figure 3.5 - The action sequence for the OR Gradebook (Pull) synchronous service.

In the case of the 'Pull' service the Service Consumer is the initiator of the read requests from the Service Provider.

Diagram of the action sequence for the OR Gradebook (push) synchronous service.

Figure 3.6 - The action sequence for the OR Gradebook (Push) synchronous service.

In the case of the 'Push' service the Service Provider is the initiator of the write requests to the Service Consumer.

3.6. OneRoster Rostering and Gradebook Choreography

The Gradebook Service has several dependencies on the data models supported in the Rostering Service e.g. Classes, Schools, etc. These interactions make use of the corresponding 'sourcedId' of the object. Therefore, any system that supports the Gradebook Service should also support the appropriate parts of the Rostering Service (this may require the system to be certified as OR 1.2 Roster Service compliant).

There is no direct dependency between the Gradebook and OR Resource services.

4. The Behavior Model

This Section is NORMATIVE

4.1 Service Definition

The model for the service representation is shown in Figure 4.1 and Table 4.1 (the syntax and semantics for this representation is described in Appendix A1.1). Following the service definition are the descriptions for the set of corresponding service operations (the syntax and semantics for these descriptions is described in Appendix A1.2).

UML model of the service.

Figure 4.1 - Service interface definitions.

Table 4.1 The set of interfaces.
Interface Description
AssessmentLineItemsManagement This enables the management of the assessment lineItems i.e. lineitems that are used to store results about tests/assessments and where these test/assessments are not aligned to a class.
AssessmentResultsManagement This enables the management of the assessment results i.e. results that are used to store scores for tests/assessments and where these test/assessments are not aligned to a class.
CategoriesManagement This enables the management of Categories i.e. collections of LineItems.

Description The sourcedId of the object. All objects MUST be identified by a Source Identifier. This is a GUID System ID for an object. This is the GUID that SYSTEMS will refer to when making API calls, or when needing to identify an object. It is RECOMMENDED that systems are able to map whichever local ids (e.g. database key fields) they use to SourcedId. The sourcedId of an object is considered an addressable property of an entity and as such will not be treated as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) by certified products. Therefore, as a part of certification, vendors will be required to declare that they will notify customers via documentation or other formal and documented agreement that sourcedIds should never contain PII in general, but particularly users. This means that if a customer includes a student name in an enrollment.sourcedId, it will not fall to any certified product to protect the enrollment.sourcedId as PII, or even the userSourcedId field in the enrollment record.

8. Extending and Profiling the Service

This Section is NOT NORMATIVE.

8.1. Extending the Specification

Proprietary extensions of the service are based upon two approaches:

It is NOT permitted to change the behavior of the current set of operations. Such changes MUST be supported by the creation of new operations.

8.1.1. Proprietary Operations

The definition of new operations should follow the same format as adopted herein. The new operations should be defined using a new interface type. Every operation must result in the return of a status code that describes the final state of the request on the target end system.

An example of creating such an extension is given in the accompanying Best Practices document [OR-IMPL-12].

8.1.2. Proprietary Data Elements

It is recognized that implementers may wish to extend the specification. The preferred mechanism for doing this is for implementers to use an extension space within the OneRoster data model, and then set their parsers to read those extension attributes. Extensions are ONLY permitted using the 'metadata' attribute within the 'Base' class (see Sub-section 6.1.2 for more details).

8.1.3. Proprietary Vocabulary Terms

In this version the ability to extend some of the enumerated vocabularies has been added: currently, ONLY the 'ScoreStatusEnum' and 'SourceEnum' vocabularies MAY be extended. Each proprietary term must start with the characters 'ext:'.

8.2. Profiling the Specification

This Service can be profiled. In general, Profiling is used to:

Valid Profiles must be restrictive i.e. optional features can be removed or constraints increased but new features must not be added. A Profile of this service is made by annotating the UML supplied with the documentation for the specification.

It is strongly recommended that a profile of this specification is undertaken either by, or with the close support, of 1EdTech. However, no matter who is responsible for creating the profile artefacts (documents, OpenAPI files, XSDs, etc.), it is strongly recommended that the 1EdTech specification tools are used. This will ensure that the artefacts are consistent with the base specifications and that useful support documentation is automatically produced e.g. creation of a document that summarises the differences between the base specification and the profile. Organizations wishing to produce a profile of this specification should contact the 1EdTech VP of Operations at: operations@1edtech.org.

Feature Definition and Usage
Service Model Package Each synchronous or asynchronous service model description is enclosed in a UML Package that has the stereotype of « serviceModel » under which is the name of the service being described. A service must have at least one Interface (the breakdown of the service into the component transactions is a design decision).
Interface Class Each interface description is enclosed in a UML Package that has the stereotype of « Interface » under which is the name of the interface being described. An interface is a collection of operations that support a common set of transaction objectives. An interface must have at least one operation. An Interface class has no attributes.
Operation Description The behaviors provided by an interface are defined by the set of operations. Each operation must have a unique name and is accompanied by the set of parameters that are sent to the service (in) and those returned by the service (out). An operation can also have a formal return parameter whose form and usage depends upon the actual binding realisation. The description may also include a stereotype for the identification of the nature operation e.g. read, create, etc.

A1.2 Operation Descriptions

Table A1.2 provides the key to the descriptions of the operation tables.

Table A1.2 The key to the operation description tables.
Descriptor Definition
Name The name given to the operation being described. In the case of an interface, by definition, every operation has the scope value of global denoted by the "+" symbol before the name.
Stereotype Before the name of the operation there may be a stereotype classifier. This is used to provide information about the nature of the behavior of the operation. The permitted set of stereotype values and their meaning are:
  • « create » - indicates that a request is being made to create a new object/resource where the requester provides the associated unique identifier;
  • « createbp » - indicates that a request is being made to create a new object/resource where the responder provides the associated unique identifier;
  • « read » - indicates that a request is being made to read an existing object/resource;
  • « update » - indicates that a request is being made to update an existing object/resource i.e. an additive write;
  • « delete » - indicates that a request is being made to delete an existing object/resource;
  • « replace » - indicates that a request is being made to replace an existing object/resource i.e. a destructive write;
  • « query » - indicates that a request is being made to search for objects/resources according to a defined set of search criteria;
  • « publish » - indicates that a request is being made by a publisher in a publish and subscribe binding;
  • « subscribe » - indicates that a request is being made by a subscriber in a publish and subscribe binding.
Return Function Parameter The formal return parameter for the operation/method returned for the transaction request (the form in which this information is provided depends on the realisation of the binding). The description includes the name of the parameter and the data-type in the form "name:data-type" pair. The name/data-type provides a link to the associated interface data-type description in The Interface Data Model. In situations where there is no return function this entry will be set to "void"
Supplied (in) Parameters The list of parameters that are sent from the client to the end-service in the service request message. Each parameter description includes the name of the parameter and the data-type in the form "name:data-type" pair. The name/data-type provides a link to the associated interface data-type description in The Interface Data Model.
Supplied (out) Parameters The list of parameters that are returned from the end-service in the service response message. Each parameter description includes the name of the parameter and the data-type in the form "name:data-type" pair. The name/data-type provides a link to the associated interface data-type description in The Interface Data Model.
Behavior A description of the behavior of the operation.
Notes Further information on the behavior particularly in the context of the use of other operations and the relationship to the behaviors of those operations.

A2.1 Parameter Model Diagrams

Table A2.1 provides the key to the descriptions of parameter data model diagrams.

Table A2.1 The key to the descriptions of parameter model diagrams.
Feature Definition and Usage
Data Model Package Each parameter data model description is enclosed in a UML Package that has the stereotype of « dataModel » under which is the name of the class being described.
DerivedType Class This is a class that is identified by the stereotype « DerivedType » under which is the name of the data-type. A derived class is one that is derived either from another derived class or a PrimitiveType class.
Enumeration Class This is a class that is identified by the stereotype « Enumeration » under which is the name of the enumeration data-type. The enumeration class consists of the list of tokens that are the permitted values of the assigned attribute.
Selection Class This is a class that is identified by the stereotype « Selection » under which is the name of the data-type. The selection means that only one of the listed attributes make occur in an instance. If this is an abstract class then multiple iterations of the instance may occur and the multiplicity of the attribute defines the constraints on the number of times the attribute can occur in the full instance.
Sequence Class This is a class that is identified by the stereotype « Sequence » under which is the name of the data-type. The sequence means that the listed attributes must occur only in the order of the attributes listed on the class. The associated multiplicity defines the number of times the attribute may occur consecutively in the instance.
Unordered Class This is a class that is identified by the stereotype « Unordered » under which is the name of the data-type. The unordering means that the listed attributes may occur in any order but the associated multiplicity for the attribute must be followed (when binding to XML this requires the use of Schematron rules to enforce the multiplicity).
Attribute Description Each class contains a set of attributes. Each attribute description consists of the scope, name, data-type and multiplicity (see Appendix A2.3 for a more complete description).
Composition Arrow This is an arrow with a filled diamond head to indicate that the child class is a composite structure of the parent class i.e. the child class only exists within the context of the parent class. This association allows complex structures to be constructed with common subcomponents.

A2.2 Class Descriptions

Table A2.2 provides the key to the descriptions of the parameter data class tables.

Table A2.2 The key to the descriptions of the data class tables.
Descriptor Definition
Class Name The name given to the class being described.
Class Type The nature of the class (for a parameter data-type this must not be an abstract class). This is described as a "Container [...]" with the value of "..." being (see Appendix A2.1 for the meaning of these values):
  • "DerivedType"
  • "Sequence"
  • "Selection"
  • "Unordered"
Parents This is the list of operations for which this class is a data-type for one or more of the parameters. Each entry is linked to the corresponding operation description.
Children Lists the set of attributes for this class (the only other permitted associations are generalizations). The list of children includes those that are grouped under a corresponding stereotyped attribute class. Each child is linked to the corresponding attribute description table. The nature of the relationship between the children is defined by the stereotype of the parent class i.e. the class type.
Description Contains descriptions relating to the class and its properties and relationships.

A2.3 Attribute Descriptions

Table A2.3 provides the key to the descriptions of the data attributes for the data classes for the operation parameters.

Table A2.3 The key to the descriptions of the data attribute tables.
Descriptor Definition
Attribute Name The name given to the attribute being described.
Data Type This is the data-type of the attribute. It can take many forms:
  • Class Name - the name of the Class (this is linked to the class definition);
  • Primtive Data-types - this is the same list as defined under the "Attribute and Characteristic" description (see later in this Appendix for these definitions).
Value Space The range of valid values for this class (including any default value). If the value space is unspecified, it is not known or is not important. This value space must be defined in terms of the associated data-type.
Scope This is the scope of the attribute with permitted values of:
  • Local - denoted by "-" and meaning the attribue has significance and access within the context of the parent class only;
  • Global - denoted by "+" and meaning that the attribute has global scoping (so must have a unique name) and can be accessed from anywhere.
Multiplicity A property of an attribute indicating the number of times it may be used or appear in a given class instance. The values of this property are expressed as a range or shorthand for a range using the notation:
  • "0..1" [optional; restricted]
  • "0..unbounded" [optional; unrestricted]
  • "1..1" [mandatory; restricted]
  • "1..unbounded" [mandatory; unrestricted]
Description Contains descriptions relating to the attribute and its values space.

A3.1 Data Model Diagrams

Table A3.1 provides the key to the descriptions of data model diagrams.

Table A3.1 The key to the descriptions of data model diagrams.
Feature Definition and Usage
Data Model Package Each data model description is enclosed in a UML Package that has the stereotype of « dataModel » under which is the name of the data model diagram being described. Only one logical data model can be described.
DerivedType Class This is a class that is identified by the stereotype « DerivedType » under which is the name of the data-type. A derived class is one that is derived either from another derived class or a PrimitiveType class.
Enumeration Class This is a class that is identified by the stereotype « Enumeration » under which is the name of the enumeration data-type. The enumeration class consists of the list of tokens that are the permitted values of the assigned attribute.
Enumerated List Class This is a class that is identified by the stereotype « EnumeratedList » under which is the name of the enumerated list data-type. The enumeration list class consists of the list of tokens that are the permitted values of the assigned attribute. A list of tokens is permitted using comma separation.
PrimitiveType Class This is a class that is identified by the stereotype « PrimitiveType » under which is the name of the primitive data-type. A PrimitiveType is one of the many base data-types on which a data model can be built (see Appendix A3.3 for the set of primitive types that are available).
Selection Class This is a class that is identified by the stereotype « Selection » under which is the name of the data-type. The selection means that only one of the listed attributes make occur in an instance. If this is an abstract class then multiple iterations of the instance may occur and the multiplicity of the attribute defines the constraints on the number of times the attribute can occur in the full instance. If the stereotype and associated name of the class are in italics this denotes the class is abstract.
Sequence Class This is a class that is identified by the stereotype « Sequence » under which is the name of the data-type. The sequence means that the listed attributes must occur only in the order of the attributes listed on the class. The associated multiplicity defines the number of times the attribute may occur consecutively in the instance. If the stereotype and associated name of the class are in italics this denotes the class is abstract.
Unordered Class This is a class that is identified by the stereotype « Unordered » under which is the name of the data-type. The unordering means that the listed attributes may occur in any order but the associated multiplicity for the attribute must be followed (when binding to XML this requires the use of Schematron rules to enforce the multiplicity). If the stereotype and associated name of the class are in italics this denotes the class is abstract.
List Class This is a class that is identified by the stereotype « List » under which is the name of the data-type. A list class is one in which the associated instance will consist of a list of objects that conform to the permitted data-types of the list (the superclasses for the list class). The terms in the list are separated by a space.
Union Class This is a class that is identified by the stereotype « Union » under which is the name of the data-type. A union class is one in which the associated instance will consist of a objects that conform to the any of the permitted data-types of the union (the superclasses for the union class).
Characteristic Description Many classes contain a set of characteristics (the set of characteristics are listed under the stereotype « Characteristics »). Each characteristic description consists of the scope, name, data-type and multiplicity (see Appendix A3.3 for a more complete description). Note that when bound to XSD/XML, a characteristic is mapped to an XML attribute.
Attribute Description Many classes contain a set of attributes (the set of attributes are listed under the stereotype « Attributes »). Each attribute description consists of the scope, name, data-type and multiplicity (see Appendix A3.3 for a more complete description). Note when bound to XSD/XML, an attribute is mapped to an XML element.
Aggregation Arrow This is an arrow with a white diamond head to indicate that the child class is an aggregate structure to the parent class i.e. the child class may exist without the context of the parent class. This association allows complex structures to be constructed with common subcomponents.
Composition Arrow This is an arrow with a filled diamond head to indicate that the child class is a composite structure of the parent class i.e. the child class only exists within the context of the parent class. This association allows complex structures to be constructed with common subcomponents.
Generalization Arrow This is an arrow with a white arrow head to indicate the class/superclass relationship. The arrow points in the direction of generality i.e. from the class to the super class.

Appendix B Service Status Codes

This Section is NORMATIVE

When a behavior-based 1EdTech service model is developed each operation is required to return status information. This status information provides contextual information about the completed success or otherwise of the operation. There are two types of status information that are available to the end-systems:

B1 Definition of the Status Codes

The status information for the business transactions is carried in a single status information object that contains the following sub-structures:

The interpretation of the "CodeMajor/Severity" behavior matrix is summarized in Table B1.1.

Table B1.1 Interpretation of the "CodeMajor/Severity" behavior matrix.
Severity CodeMajor
"Success" "Processing" "Failure" "Unsupported"
"Status" The transaction request has been completed successfully. The transaction request is being processed at the destination i.e. the request has been received and acknowledged. This combination is used in asynchronous services. The transaction request has failed. The detailed reason will be reported in the accompanying "codeMinor" fields. The destination service handler does not support the requested operation. This is the required default response for an unsupported operation by an implementation.
"Warning" Some of the request has been completed successfully e.g. partial data storage, etc. The request has been transmitted but acknowledgement of receipt at the destination has not been received. This combination is used in asynchronous services. Not permitted. Not permitted.
"Error" Not permitted. An error has been detected in the immediate transmission communications handler i.e. the message has not left the local end-system. There has been a failure in the end-to-end system communications mechanism and so the request has not been delivered. The destination service handler does not recognise the requested operation i.e. it is an unknown service extension.

B1.1 Definition of the "CodeMajor" Values

The set of codes used for the "codeMajor" status code field are defined in Table B1.2.

Table B1.2 Definition of the "CodeMajor" status code values.
Status Code Description
success Denotes that the request has been successfully completed. If the associated 'severity' value is 'warning' then the request has been partially successful i.e. best effort by the service provider. Other parts of the status information may provide more insight into a partial success response.
processing Denotes that the request is being processed at the destination or there has been a local transmission failure. This value is used in asynchronous services.
failure Denotes that the transaction request has failed. The detailed reason will be reported in the accompanying 'codeMinor' fields.
unsupported Denotes that the service provider does not support the requested operation. This is the required default response for an unsupported operation by an implementation.

B1.2 Definition of the "Severity" Values

The set of codes used for the "severity" status code field are defined in Table B1.3.

Table B1.3 Definition of the "Severity" status code values.
Status Code Description
status The request has been completed and a response was received from the Service Provider.
warning The request has only been partially completed. For an asynchronous service a further response should be expected.
error A significant error has occurred in processing the request and so the request was not completed (the Service Provider may not even have received the request).

B1.3 Definition of the "CodeMinor" Values

The set of codes used for the "codeMinor" status code field are defined in Table B1.4.

Table B1.4 Definition of the "CodeMinor" status code field values.
Status Code Description
createsuccess The request has been fully and successfully implemented by the Service Provider. For a REST binding this will have an HTTP code of '201' for a successful 'PUT' request.
deletesuccess The request has been fully and successfully implemented by the Service Provider. For a REST binding this will have an HTTP code of '204' for a successful 'DELETE' request.
forbidden This is used to indicate that the server can be reached and process the request but refuses to take any further action. This would be accompanied by the 'codeMajor/severity' values of 'failure/error' and for a REST binding a HTTP code of '403'.
internalservererror This should be used only if there is catastrophic error and there is not a more appropriate code. This would be accompanied by the 'codeMajor/severity' values of 'failure/error' and for a REST binding a HTTP code of '500'.
invaliddata This error condition may occur if a JSON request/response body contains well-formed (i.e. syntactically correct), but semantically erroneous, JSON instructions. This would be accompanied by the 'codeMajor/severity' values of 'failure/error' and a HTTP code of '422'.
invalidfilterfield An invalid filter field was supplied and so the filtering was not possible. No data has been reurned. This would be accompanied by the 'codeMajor/severity' values of 'failure/error' and for a REST binding a HTTP code of '400'.
invalidselectionfield An invalid selection field was supplied and data filtering on the selection criteria was not possible. This would be accompanied by the 'codeMajor/severity' values of 'failure/error' and for a REST binding a HTTP code of '400'.
invalidsortfield An invalid sort field was supplied and sorting was not possible. This would be accompanied by the 'codeMajor/severity' values of 'failure/error' and for a REST binding a HTTP code of '400'.
readsuccess The request has been fully and successfully implemented by the Service Provider. For a REST binding this will have an HTTP code of '200' for a successful 'GET' request.
replacesuccess The request has been fully and successfully implemented by the Service Provider. For a REST binding this will have an HTTP code of '201' for a successful 'PUT' request.
serverbusy The server is receiving too many requests. Retry at a later time. This would be accompanied by the 'codeMajor/severity' values of 'failure/error' and for a REST binding a HTTP code of '429'.
unauthorisedrequest The request was not correctly authorised. This would be accompanied by the 'codeMajor/severity' values of 'failure/error' and for a REST binding a HTTP code of '401'.
unknownobject The supplied identifier is unknown in the Service Provider and so the object could not be changed. This would be accompanied by the 'codeMajor/severity' values of 'failure/error' and for a REST binding a HTTP code of '404'.
unsupported Denotes that the service provider does not support the requested operation. This is the required default response for an unsupported operation by an implementation. This would be accompanied by the 'codeMajor/severity' values of 'failure/error' and for a REST binding a HTTP code of '500'.
