The Software Layers

The LINCKS system is made up of essentially four separate layers. Going from the layer closest to the data storage, to the layer closest to the user, the layers are the following:

  1. The NODE database layer

  2. The NODE workspace layer

  3. The Composition Management layer

  4. The interface layer

The basic architecture is a client server architecture, where the database resides on a single server machinegif and the clients are on workstations connected to the server by a local area network.
