| - The first operation returns the resource type of a given resource identifier (an LSID). The second operation returns the set of semantic annotations known to the kepler object manager (including annotations stored on remote repositories depending on the value of the remote flag). The last operation returns the ontology for a given ontology identifier (also a resource id). Note that this last operation could be used with an ontology service, e.g., the simple one described at the end of this page[simple ontology service|1]. |

| - In general, the {{search}} operation requires access to all semantic annotations to find matching resources. For example, consider a search expression {{A and B}}, i.e., a resource must contribute to both concept {{A}} and concept {{B}}. To find appropriate matches for this search term, the algorithm must look for annotations that explicitly state {{A and B}} as well as those that state only {{A}} and only {{B}} (which taken together make {{A and B}}). Note that an annotation that states only {{A}} may be in one repository, while an annotation that states only {{B}} may be in another. Thus, for remote searches, the {{search}} algorithm must obtain and consider all remote annotations to find matching resources, making the {{search}} operation inherently centralized. |

| + The arguments for this service are: |
| + # A resource whose semantic types are to be checked; |
| + # A concept expression; and |
| + # A flag denoting whether local or remote repositories are searched |
| + |
| + The service returns true if the resource has a semantic type matching the concept expression. Note that given a set of resources {{R}} returned by the {{search}} service for a concept expression {{c}} and remote flag value {{m}} (either true or false), for each {{r}} in {{R}}, {{match(r, c, m)}} is true. That is, {{r}} is a {{match}} for search {{c}}. |

| + The {{match}} service is included primarily to support browsing of ontologies. |
