Style Guide for Modular Distributed Development with TargetLink

The main objective of this guide is to define TargetLink architectural modeling patterns and guidelines for applying modular, distributed development when working with TargetLink. Modular, distributed development is a development approach where (a potentially large number of) software components is implemented in the form of modular units or components developed by different developers of potentially large teams that can also be distributed across different organizations. Issues covered in this style guide are (amongst others):

• Preparation of software architecture for modular, distributed software development
• Modeling components and compositions in a modular manner
• Proper software specification in the TargetLink Data Dictionary

Customer feedback for instance on topics to be treated in future versions of the style guide is welcome (contact: support@dspace.de).
