D04.3: Information and Deployment View on the BRIDGE System Architecture
The BRIDGE systems architecture is intended to provide a framework for description and documentation of the overall BRIDGE system functionality and the ways in which the platform can be deployed for use under different circumstances and for different purposes. The architecture is structured and described following three architectural views: a functional view describing the BRIDGE middleware components and services, an information view and a deployment view. This document (D04.3) describes the latter two views, whereas the Functional View is described in the deliverable D04.2. The Information View of the BRIDGE architecture describes the data structures, message and event formats employed or recommended for use, in the BRIDGE system. The Information View also makes reference to standards and guidelines related to these models and structures. The specific concerns for the management of multiple media contents in the BRIDGE architecture are described in the accompanying deliverable D04.4. The Deployment View of the BRIDGE architecture describes the run-time components and their configurations as a system of systems. Adopting a system of systems view means that there are several alternative configurations of the components and tools of the BRIDGE project.
