Using the DAK API

Schema Validation

Each JSON Schema can be used to validate data structures in your applications.

JSON-LD Semantic Integration

The JSON-LD vocabularies provide semantic web integration for ValueSet enumerations.

Integration with FHIR

All schemas are derived from the FHIR definitions in this implementation guide.

API Endpoints

The enumeration endpoints provide machine-readable lists of all available schemas.
