Overview of the Architecture of the ConceptBase-System

ConceptBase is organized in a client/server architecture. The server manages the object base while the client may be any user-defined application program. A standard client -the CBworkbench- is distributed with the ConceptBase system. The communication between server and client is realized through a standard network (Internet). The connection is established by the server and is identified by a unique number, the so called port number. The object base maintained by the server is called application. Every application is stored in a seperate directory whith the name of the application as name of this directory.

Before working with this tutorial ConceptBase has to be installed properly.
