Concepts

Concepts

Following concepts are used for development, but doesn't have to be used in final specification.

Design Principles

Project is using bottom-up approach with layers building on top of each other adding gradually new functionality.

Some of the design principles:

• Small steps - Project should be build and evolve by adding small and independent functionality
• Universality first - Focus should be on support of wide range of use-cases and provide extensibility instead of fixed and compact structure
• Abstraction - Data should be defined using abstraction instead of vague description only
