Publishing framework architecture

This section provides an overview of the publishing framework architecture. The diagram below provides a top level view of the components, interfaces and the connection points.

The Publishing Core contains the core components of the Publishing Framework that provide the functionality to connect to the IRC database and read or write the publishable data.

The Publishing SDK contains the set of interfaces and classes that are utilized by the framework as well as the target implementation. The target implementer must use the SDK in the implementation to allow the framework to seamlessly communicate with any given target to publish data.

The Publishing Web Service contains the web service that can be used by a target system to discover the publishable data in IRC, to get specific data from IRC and to publish specific data into IRC.
