Welcome to the openpsa wiki!
While casually browsing the repository, you may have noticed that there's a lot of terminology that's not easily understandable, especially when one is not familiar with how the code developed, so here's a short overview:
- OpenPSA usually refers to web application, i.e. what you can see on the demo server.
- OpenPSA is built on top of the MidCOM framework, which provides interfaces and functionality for developing applications
- Midgard refers to the database abstraction layer. Historically, Midgard provided a lot more functionality, which was gradually moved upwards to the framework level.
On the technical level, OpenPSA is implemented as a set of MidCOM Components, which makes it easy to use them separately in custom applications, or to extend OpenPSA functionality.
