ODCS-SystemArchetecture

The following page describes the following:

[a] The system architecture that will be temporarily developed to complete Gaby's ODCS-GUI implementation project. [b] The desired system of the entire ODCS architecture including GUI and ODCS*WS [c] A brief comparison of how the two (temporary and desired) are similar, hence utilizing the work Gaby will complete this semester

__**[A] Temporary ODCS Archetecture**__



The proposed architecture is meant to satisfy the requirements for the completion of a Mock ODCS with an fully-operational front end GUI. The following descriptions are meant as a brief overview of the technologies utilized for this implementation....


 * //MySQL DB://** The MySQL database is meant to mimic the semantic information that is described within an ontology-driven compositional system. To see the current DB Schema development click HERE (Link needs to be added).

//**Temp ODCS**//: The Temp ODCS is a mock system which will act like our final desired ODCS system. After our group discussion, we decided that the system will be created as a simple PHP Web Service that makes DB calls to the //MySQL DB// to obtain the semantic information required about the Compositional Units and Workflow Templates. The Temp-ODCS will also be responsible for keeping track of the current workflow session a user is engaging in. This removes all operational knowledge away from the Interface. All operational services will be accessed via a SOA application interface.


 * //XML://** The messages to- and from the Temp-ODCS will be passed via a XML envelope. The group needs to finalize XML schemas for Gaby to utilize. The following Schema are required: [1] Workflow, [2] CU Collection, [3] CU Dashboard, and [4] CU Settings

//**ODCS-GUI:**// The ODCS-GUI is the bread-and-butter of this current implementation. The main goal during the implementation of this GUI is to provide an interface that can be easily ported to the final desired ODCS system. (See Below)

More information about how the GUI is designed is located HERE (add link)
