SchemaServer Specifications

Functional Components

There are five main functional layers to the SchemaServer application:

  • Data Base Layer - SchemaServer is built on a relational database foundation with support for the leading commercial database platforms: SQL Server and Oracle.
  • Relational Layer - Both Semantic Model objects and persistent Governance objects are stored in a normalized data model. The SchemaServer business logic and services layer access the data model through open source Object/Relational mapping frameworks: Hibernate and Ibatis.
  • Application Layer - SchemaServer is implemented as a J2EE compliant Java servlet. SchemaServer requires a compliant Application server such as Tomcat, IBM WebSphere, or BEA WebLogic servers. SchemaServer can be clustered and load-leveled for improved availability and performance.
  • SOAP API Layer – SchemaServer is wrapped with a SOAP API that enables all functionality to be exercised by external applications. The Application Programmers Interface is a robust SOAP API accessible from Java, .NET and Javascript and other SOAP compliant languages. The API is a core component of the SchemaLogic Enterprise Suite enabling API calls to all major features and services of the application. Workshop, Workshop Web and the Integration Service were built utilizing these API calls.
  • User Interface Layer – SchemaServer can be delivered with two User Interface Client Options (Workshop & Workshop Web). The first is Workshop, for the taxonomist, information architect, data modelers and system administrators running more robust modeling tools on their desktop. The second option is Workshop Web, a pure HTML client for business semantic consumers who need to search, view, and collaborate on published standard models.
