Application Layer

The Component and Development Layer builds the bridge to the content services layer for applications that are part of the Application Layer. It is the Application Layer that makes the platform available to human users. The application layer essentially opens up the platform for any type of use that can utilize content-management capabilities. The Applications in this Layer can be categorized into web-based applications, desktop applications, portal applications, and enterprise applications.

Some such existing applications are described in the next section, while more custom applications can be created using the capabilities made available by the Component and Development Layer.
