Moved Server API to its own directory and split out the constellation structure…

Specifications/Server API/README.md

+# Server API
+
+The internal server's API is written and required to be entirely in JSON.  Requests to the server will use HTTP PUT requests to a localhost port (set up as a firewalled virtualhost in Apache).  This allows future scalability, including separating the intenal server onto a separate machine from the front-facing web and rest interfaces.
+
+## Server Requests
+
+Requests can be tested by the command line using curl, in the form:
+```bash
+curl -XPUT "http://shannonvm.village.virginia.edu:82" -d '{ "JSON" : "Request"}'
+```
+
+Requests should be of the form:
+```json
+{
+    "command" : "command_name",
+    "constellation" : {
+        "...":"..."
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Request API Definitions
+
+* `command` : the command to issue to the server.  The following commands are allowed:
+    * User-level Commands
+        * `login` - log in with the given credentials
+        * `user_info` - get the user information for the given user
+    * Constellation Management Commands
+        * `edit` - Edit a constellation.  Read the constellation `"id"` from the given constellation object
+        and return all pieces of the constellation object to the client for editing.  Sets the state
+        of the server to note that this user is editing this constellation.
+        * `insert` - Insert the given constellation in the database.  Returns the full constellation
+        out of SNAC with ID and version numbers within the Constellation structure.
+        * `update` - Update a constellation.  Read the constellation `"id"` from the given constellation
+        object and make the requested changes to the constellation.  In an update **many** of the non-repeating portions of the constellation object are required.  Also, any subcomponent given, such as nameEntry objects, must be given in full.  Except for the outer constellation object, any subcomponents must either be given with all fields or left out completely.  **Partial components will result in data loss.**
+        * `search` - Return a list of constellations matching the given constellation.  Read all the data available
+        in the given constellation object and return a list of constellations that match (or are similar)
+* `user` : the current user's information
+* `token` : the current session token
+* `constellation` : all available parts of the constellation over which to enact the command.  Certain commands require different amounts of the constellation object to be given.  The full specification for the constellation structure may be viewed [here](Constellation.md).
+    * Example: to request a constellation, the client may use the portions of the constellation that are known (`id` or `ark_id`)
+
+            {
+                "command" : "get",
+                "constellation" : {"id" : 12345}
+            }
+
+
+
+## Server Responses
+
+The Server response API has the following form:
+```json
+{
+    "timing" : 50,
+    "request" : {
+        "Note" : "Entire original request will be returned to the client."
+    },
+    "error" : {
+        "type" : "Type of error",
+        "message" : "Error message"
+    },
+    "constellation" : {
+        "...":"..."
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Response API Definitions
+
+* `timing` : the time in milliseconds for the server to compute the response
+* `request` : the client's entire request to the server, as a sub-element.  This is mainly returned for the client's reference.
+* `error` : an error message, if the server had a problem handling the request.  This object has two subcomponents,
+    * `type` : the type of the error.  A full list of error types are defined [here](http://shannonvm.village.virginia.edu:83).
+    * `message` : a detailed error message (in English prose) stating the exact nature of the problem
+* `constellation` : The matching constellation for the client's query.  All portions of the constellation known to the server will be returned to the client.  If there are multiple constellations, this will return a list:
+
+        {
+            "constellation" : [
+                { "...":"..." },
+                { "...":"..." },
+                { "...":"..." }
+            ]
+        }
