Specifications

Description Languages

OpenInterface platform defines two description languages to enable components interface description(CIDL) and application composition(PDCL). For more details on the CIDL (Component Interface Description Language) and PDCL (Pipeline Description and Configuration Language) please refer to the OpenInterface Description Languages Specification.

Developer Guides

Plugins

OpenInterface also defines an API for building custom tools for the kernel. The plugin specification document gives guidelines for extending the set of features provided by the OpenInterface platform and is aimed at developer willing to extend the enhance the functionalities of the platform or for people willing to understand the process used by the kernel.

Platform Kernel API

OpenInterface Kernel API (C/C++) can be viewed here. Bindings for severals scripting languages can be generated with SWIG, as an example Java bindings are provided within the latest platform installer and used by SKEMMI editor.
