The purpose of this work is to define a generic api for "smart" search, which
implementation(s) will conform to. Each api operation will require both (1) a
public interface that external services will interface with (to call the desired
function), and (2) a description of the required backend information-storage
operations necessary to execute the desired functions. For example, this might
include the operation 'getObjectLSIDList(ObjectType) : ObjectLSIDList' that when
given an object type (such as "actor" or "dataset") will return all the LSIDs
for objects stored in the target backend repository.
