---+ Inventory/Scan Request
This request returns a (sorted) list of distinct values for a requested concept. In DiGIR the inventory request as well as the scan request in BioCASE allow up to now only to query for a single concept.
See the DifferencesInScanOperations for the different protocol aspects.
---+++++ Desired Scan Features
* paging through the result set, if providers limit the number of returned items
* scan combined multiple concepts as in SELECT DISTINCT in SQL.
* allow filters to work with scans
* allow to only count the number of distinct values (See CountRequest for a possible seperate request method)
---+++++ Proposed Inventory
* InventoryProposalOne
* InventoryProposalTwo
