• allFactLists
  • This object is a Map of Class to List, or more specifically, Map<Class<?>, List<?>>.  The key of each map entry may be a Class of any given type, though Plugins should restrict the types to OpenCDS-internal components of the vMR.
  • Fact Lists are the facts that Drools uses for inferencing–these contain data from the vMR.
  • All facts that are submitted are returned unless they are retracted by the rules.  They are returned to OpenCDS, but OpenCDS only puts them into the output XML if they are flagged to be returned (ClinicalStatement fields: clinicalStatementToBeRoot and toBeReturned) input to be returned is flagged to be returned)
• namedObjects
  • This object is a Map of String to Object, or more specifically, Map<String, Object>.  The key of each map entry may be any given String, which is typically used within Drools.
  • Named objects are currently (at the University of Utah) used by Drools rules for obtaining result fact listsas follows:
    • adds named objects to what is found to be returned in submitted allFactLists.
• globals
  • This object is a Map of String to Object, or more specifically, Map<String, Object>.  The key of each map entry may be any given String, which is typically used as a Global within the Drools context.  Names are restricted to any value other than the following:
    • evalTime, clientLanguage, clientTimeZoneOffset, focalPersonId, assertions, and namedObjects.
• cache
  • Cache is a cache of data within an OpencdsCache cache region, where plugins may store the data they support for future processing, as in the case of, e.g., SupportingData.

...

• assertions
  • This object is a set of strings, or more specifically, Set<String>, and is a placeholder for assertions and is instantiated and given to Drools as a global variable. Drools may write to this set to provide the calling code with the information about the inferencing performed on the input data. (As of today--2014-09-20) the assertions object is not being used external to Drools, as there is a rule that is commonly being used which assembles the assertions into a comma-delimited list, as part of the vMR output.)
• resultFactLists
  • This object is a Map of String to List, or more specifically, Map<String, List<?>>.  Data contained by this map are the result fact lists, which are the final return value of the DroolsAdapter.getOneResponse method and OpenCDS post processing.
  • Effectively this is a copy of allFactLists (above) with any changes made by Drools.
  • OpenCDS also adds the contents of namedObjects to the resultFactLists.

• cache
  • Cache is a cache of data within an OpencdsCache cache region, where plugins may store the data they support for future processing, as in the case of, e.g., SupportingData.
