The Open Terminology Services (OTS) project provides a common, well-specified mechanism to access terminological content in a vendor and platform neutral fashion. The project includes a freely available API specification and an open source reference implementation. The API specification derives from the OMG Lexicon Query Services interface specification as a foundation and defines mechanisms for browsing, querying and import terminological content. The Java-based reference implementation uses the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for a back end, and provides a mechanism to query and distribute heterogeneous terminological content using a common format. The project includes the CTS (Central Terminology Services) subset under HL7.
开放术语服务（OTS）项目提供了一种通用的、规范良好的机制，以供应商和平台中立的方式访问术语内容。该项目包括一个免费的应用程序编程接口（API）规范和一个开源参考实现。API规范以对象管理组织（OMG）词汇查询服务接口规范为基础，并定义了浏览、查询和导入术语内容的机制。基于Java的参考实现在后端使用轻量级目录访问协议（LDAP），并提供一种使用通用格式查询和分发异构术语内容的机制。该项目包括卫生信息交换标准（HL7）下的中央术语服务（CTS）子集。
