Architecture[edit]
eSciDoc admin - as a web interface to the framework's CRUD services for its resources - has a very simple architecture:
- All communication with the framework is implemented in a framework client library
- As a !TurboGears aplication, escidocadmin subscribes to the MVC pattern, or better the VC pattern, because the persistence layer is implemented by the framework.
- The management logic for each resource is implemented in one controller class.
- The views for each resource are implemented in one (or several) templates.
