netzspannung.org/systemThe netzspannung.org system comprises the following
elements:Distributed Community Engine,
Authoring Toolbox for Networked Concepts,
Open Interface Toolkit.
Distributed Community EngineThe Distributed Community Engine is based on
the three-tier model for the separation of interface, application and database layers. This
enables the deployment of multiple independent database and application servers, as well as
decentral y managed interfaces, as part of the overall distributed system of netzspannung.org.
Each user can run his/her own server with an own set of functionalities. The distributed engine
supports CORBA, SOAP and HTTP as communication protocols between individual
modules.
