PlaceLynx Architecture |
|
MODULAR Each information source (GIS, CMS, or database) is accessed via a connector module. The modules communicate with one another via a link module that acts as a central switchyard. |
|

|
INTEROPERABLE All PlaceLynx modules are interoperable so web and desktop components can be intermixed. This architecture of interoperable modules forms the basis of a growing family of integration products in which new modules are both easier to create and more useful because of those that already exist. |

How IT WORKS When a link is initiated, the source connector gathers data about objects of interest and sends it to the link module. The link module forwards it to the appropriate “target connector” where an action is performed on related data. Link actions can select, create, or modify data in the target system. |
|
AN EXAMPLE A user selects a set of water facilities and executes links to find as-built drawings and work orders. The selected documents appear in the CMS connector. Conversely, the user might start with a selection of drawings and then link to map to find related facilities. |
