+ !! Input and Output parameters in Taxonomic Object Service methods
+
+ ;__confidenceMeasure (output)__: A measure of confidence between 0 and 1, that a particular relationship is true. If the query is for a single provider, the measure will be 0 or 1. If the query is for all Name Providers, the measure will be a percentage of Name Providers for which this relationship is true.
+
+ ;__distanceAlgorithm (input)__: A method to caculate the distance between two concepts according to a single Name Provider or (later) different Name Providers. This algorithm looks at the relationships between the concepts.
+
+ ;__distanceMeasure (output)__: A measure of the distance (based on relationships) between two concepts.
+
+ ;__distanceThreshold (input)__: A minimum boundary indicating that concepts further away from the given concept than this threshold, shall not be returned.
+
+ ;__relateAlgorithm (input)__: A method to caculate the similarity between the relationships of one concept compared to the relationships of another concept according to two different providers.
+
+ ;__relateMeasure (output)__: A measure of similarity between the relationships of one concept compared to the relationships of another concept according to two different providers.
+
+ ;__relationshipType (input/output)__: A indication of the relationship between two concepts.
+
+ ;__returnFormat (input)__: Format to return the results of a taxonomic object service query, for example, XML, OWL, HTML.
+
+ ;__similarityAlgorithm (input)__: A method to caculate the similarity between two concepts. These algorithms look at the fields of a concept.
+
+ ;__similarityMeasure (output)__: A measure of the similarity between two concepts based on fields.
+
+ ;__similarityThreshold (input)__: A minimum boundary indicating that concepts less similar to the given concept than this threshold shall not be returned.
+
+ ;__TES (input/output)__: TES (as in TaxonGlossary) in XML format.
+
+ ;__useCacheFlag (input)__: An indicator of whether the query should be sent to the Taxon Cache or individual provider proxies.
