DesignOverviewThe application diagram provides a graphical overview of the logical elements. Metadata Management: The core of the Osprey application. Descriptive information is maintained in this area. Search: Keyword and advanced by-field searching helps a person find what he or she is looking for. Bittorrent Tracker: Manages the Bittorrent clients downloading content via the P2P network. Permaseed: Links the content available on a web server to the P2P network. This acts as a permanent seeding component, making files available to Bittorrent clients. OAI: Makes the metadata stored in the Osprey application available for harvesting via the Open Archives Initiative protocol. Application Tracker: This mechanism allows Osprey applications to register themselves with a parent Osprey site. The installations can then offer distributed searching and cross-installation communication. |
