NFDI4Earth System Architecture Documentation
Here we provide the documentation of the NFDI4Earth software architecture. The documentation summarizes the major use cases, gives an overview on the requirement analysis approaches for the NFDI4Earth services, points out envisioned quality goals, and introduces potential stakeholders of the architecture. Specifically, the documentation provides externally and internally driven constraints that need to be considered when developing or contributing to NFDI4Earth services. We herewith facilitate, the users to better understand the solution strategy for the NFDI4Earth architecture.
