<xsd:documentation source="http://www.openapplications.org/oagis/9.0">The Get verb is to communicate to a business software component a
request for an existing piece of information to be returned. The Get may be paired with most of the nouns
defined in the OAGIS specification.The response to this request is the Show verb. The behavior of a BOD with
a Get verb is quite predictable across most of the nouns it may be paired with.The Get is designed to
retrieve a single piece of information by using that information's primary retrieval field, or key field.
The Get verb is not used to request several documents at once. The GetList verb is designed to achieve that
purpose and will be covered in more detail later.Selection Criteria:There are two types of selection
capabilities for most BOD's that use the Get verb.1) The first selection capability is called Field-Based
Selection. Within a Get-based Business Object Document, the first Data Type that occurs in a specific BOD
structure is commonly used to provide the Field-Based Selection criteria. This is always defined within the
specific BOD and is commonly the required fields for that specific Data type.The Field-Based Selection
enables the requester to provide a value or values (in the case of multiple required Field Identifiers), in
the required fields. Then the responding component uses those values to find and return the requested
information to the originating business software component.2) The second type of selection capability for
Get-based BODs is called Data Type Selection. Data Type selection enables the requester to identify which
Data Types within the noun are requested to be returned in the response. The use of this capability is
described for each corresponding Data Type for all BODs that use the Get verb. The Data Types are identified
for retrieval within the Get instance of a BOD by including the name of the Data Type in the meta data but
without any Field Identifiers or Segments identified within the Data Type. This will signify to the
responding application that all of the data that corresponds to that Data Type is to be included in the
response.If the Data Type is not requested, the Data Type identifier is not included in the Get request and
this will signify to the responding component that the Data Type is not to be returned.</xsd:documentation>
