      We will make the following changes:

      1. The persist parameter should be boolean.

            2. The Url parameter will be defined as "the URL to the source document. this may be a general URL or a Binary or a Composition or a Bundle."

    Description

      The data type of the parameter "persist" is wrong: is Binary but should be boolean. It is also unclear to what resource the persist option pertains.

      Currently the input parameters only allow to submit a url. I think this should be broardened to also allow for the submission of a Composition resource as an input parameter of type Resource. Having to expose the Composition on a restful endpoint before calling the operation seems unnecessarily complicated.
      I wonder if the error with the persist (Binary) parameter happened because it got tangled up with the intention to also allow the input of CDAs as Binaries...?
