BasicClient is a simple console application that uses caBIG dotNET API to print out the list of caBIG DataServices registered in the caBIG Index Service.

Concepts are the atomic vocabulary construct used in caBIG.

caBIG Data Services Grid Service Handle (URL), along with their descriptive meta-data, are manually registered in a central caGRID Index Service.

Object Attributes are conceputally similar to structure in C -- they have a name (e.g.

A critical notion in the caBIG metadata model is that “any concept represented by a data element must have an explicit definition that is independent of any particular representation”.

This class defines the constants used by caBIG dotNET.
