Platform Architecture
YES• Independent components (desktop or web applications or
services for machines) • Old (existing) & new developments • Service oriented (SOA)• Adaptable to individual institutional IT preconditions• Gradual migration • Adaptable to new challenges
NO• Monolithic, single user interface application• Everything new

Data Domain
ABCD, DC, wmf, wfs TCS SDD
?
ABCD, DC
• No common standard/model exists
Andreas Müller, Botanical Garden Botanic Museum Berlin, TDWG 2008
Common Data Model (CDM)
• New development• Covering all relevant
areas• Leans on existing
standards/ models (TCS, SDD, TDWG Ontology, Berlin Model, …)
• Exchange format• Expandabel

CDM Library
• To access, persist & query CDM data
• Database independent
• Includes taxonomic business logic (Parsing, Validation,…)
• JAVA / Hibernate / Spring / Eclipse
• Local and remote API (Web Services)
• Bulk import/export
• Collaboration with other projects (e.g. CATE)
IO
