QUERY_FUNCTION getChildrenConcepts(
                                concept_guid : STRING;
                                context_guids : LIST OF STRING;

                : LIST OF IfdConceptInRelationship;

Function to list the children(related concepts) of the concept with the given guid, constrained by the given array of contexts, the given array of relationship_types and the given array of languages. The children are returned as an array of IfdConceptInRelationship

Input:

• string concept_guid - the concept_guid for which we want the parents
• string context_guids[] - array of context_guids in which you want to constrain the results
• IfdRelationshipTypeEnum relationship_types[] - array of relationships from enumeration of the selected IfdRelationshipTypeEnum
• IfdLanguage languages[] - array of languages in which you want to constrain the results
• string session_id - the session id for the current user

Return:

• IfdConceptInRelationship[] - an array containing the requested parents

Comments: -The Concept parameter should be the guid of the Concept, not the Concept itself. (resolved) -The Context parameter is not clear, what is it used for, what content might it have? I suggest to leave it out. (declined) -The language parameter is not needed, I suggest to leave it out. (declined) -An additional parameter is needed for filtering between Definition and Specification. For this I suggest to use IfdPropertyTypeEnum. (not relevant here) -The function should only return a list of guids. (declined)
