3 | 1 | # Common Data Model |
|
4 | 78 | Andreas Müller | |
5 | 79 | Katja Luther | The Common Data Model (CDM) is the domain model for the core EDIT components. The CDM is primarily based on the [TDWG Ontology](http://rs.tdwg.org/ontology/voc/.) But other models and standards (see [[TaxonomicDataStandards]], [[BibliographicalDataStandards]], [[SpecimenOrObservationStandards]]) have influenced the modelling too. |

16 | 1 | ## Scope |
|
17 | 30 | Markus Döring | |
18 | 49 | Markus Döring | Basically the CDM covers all the data exchanged in the platform. As most applications require additional data, options to extend the model need to be provided. |
19 | 1 | ||
20 | 66 | Andreas Müller | The [CDM](http://cybertaxonomy.eu/cdm/latest/) covers the following object types (classes), grouped by packages: |

29 | 38 | Markus Döring | ### CDM Version 1.0 |
30 | 36 | Markus Döring | |
31 | 66 | Andreas Müller | The [**first version**](http://cybertaxonomy.eu/cdm/v1/) of the CDM has been completed and version:"CDM UML 1.0" reached. The modelling was done with Enterprise Architect and resulted in annotated UML class diagrams. The model is also available for download: attachment:"edit_cdm.eap". |
32 | 50 | Andreas Müller | |
33 | 1 | ||
34 | 50 | Andreas Müller | ### CDM Version 1.4 |
35 | |||
36 | 66 | Andreas Müller | [**Version 1.4**](http://cybertaxonomy.eu/cdm/v14/) of the CDM has been completed together with the deliverable D11. The modelling was done in Java and import into Enterprise Architect. The model is also available for download: attachment:"edit_cdm_14.eap". |
37 | 21 | Markus Döring | |
38 | 40 | Markus Döring | Since the first version of the CDM was purely modelled in UML with implementation in mind, but no real world use yet, implementing the model in Java code has required changes all over. |
39 | 56 | Anahit Babadshanjan | |
40 | 1 | Since the freeze of version 1.0 we are primarily maintaining the model in the source:"trunk/cdmlib/cdmlib-model/src/main/java/eu/etaxonomy/cdm/model" and derive the UML documentation in Enterprise Architect from the source code. |
|
41 | |||
42 | To generate the UML model automatically from the Java code EA's import source-code feature was used that synchronizes classes by namespace (_in EA7 project browser "Common Data Model"-"Java Model" -> right click ->Code Engineering->Import Source Directory_). |

79 | 1 | This wiki describes the latest stage of the modelling efforts. Discussions are being held on a mailing list dedicated only to the CDM. We invite everyone to join the mailinglist to follow discussions, raise questions or even suggest changes to the model. |

91 | 18 | Markus Döring | As we sometimes cannot apply changes immediately to the model, we also keep track of issues to be done. |

93 | All notes regarding changes or additions to the CDM are managed with [[report13|tickets in TRAC]]. |

96 | 46 | Markus Döring | ## Partner |
97 | |||
98 | We try to collaborate with other projects outside of EDIT to base its development on a stable long-term perspective. Apart from shared software development it is essential that we test the CDM with different, diverse datasets. |
