Architecture

The architecture of SHORE is addressed in some of our publications from the past

• A presentation of OpenSHORE at the university of Stuttgart (English, pdf).

• Ein Werkzeug für übergreifende Vernetzung und Auswertung von Dokumenten (German, pdf)

The big picture of  the SHORE architecture looks like this:

Core System

The core system of SHORE is a server application written in C++ that works as a HTTP Server.

The server can be accessed by any standard web browser with Java capabilities. Though most of the user interface is pure HTML, SHORE uses a Java applet for menues and some dialogues.

In addition SHORE has a command line client implemented in Java that can be used to add documents to the repository or update them. The command line client can be used for integration with other tools like source code repositories.

Please check our SourceForge project for details.
