--- Core COSMOS Components
Crew,
Based on the Arch meeting yesterday, here is the modified listing
and (a start at the) definitions for each COSMOS component… Please update
/ append / correct as appropriate.
COSMOS Broker
Is a
COSMOS component with which web services may register, and for COSMOS clients to find those web services. Currently, there are no
restrictions on the type of web services that my register themselves with the
Broker.
Product Client
Is a
product-specific API that is implemented by each product to access its data. The Product
Client “resides” within the Data Manager.
Data Manager
Is a
component that hosts a Product Client, and handles communication with the
COSMOS environment.
COSMOS Client
Is a
component used access and visualize information from Product Data sources via Data Managers. The Client may be an API
or a UI; COSMOS ships with a sample webUI.
Thanks,
Jimmy Mohsin
