Corpora Space platform and architecture

[James Smith]

In preparation for next week's workshop with tool builders, I've put together a document on the wiki outlining how we might integrate tools into Corpora Space:

https://wiki.projectbamboo.org/display/BTECH/Corpora+Space+Workshop+II+Architecture+Design

Please look over the document and let me know if you have any questions, concerns, comments, suggestions, or anything else that might help us build a stronger platform.  The document does not address a lot of the specifics of protocols or off-the-shelf components that we might leverage, though it does point to the platform from Corpora Camp I and Fedora as examples of what we might use as inspiration for an implementation.

I will be traveling on Sunday to Victoria, BC, to attend DHSI, but I am putting together a few slides to provide an overview of the architecture Monday morning at the Corpora Camp workshop (I will be presenting via Skype).  I should be able to respond to suggestions and comments through Sunday evening, though there will be some delay between arriving in Victoria and gaining access to the Internet.
