System Architecture
Le Select is based on a distributed computing system and has a fully distributed architecture. There is no Le Select global repository and no global schema. When data is published on Le Select it is viewed by users as tuples in a relational table, regardless of the native data format which could be a flat file or a spreadsheet. Wrappers are software modules used by Le Select to translate data from native format into the relational format that is viewed by users. They also contain information about how to locate data on a server and how to access it and are formed by a set of Java Classes with additional XML definition files. They are designed so that wrappers that serve similar purposes can be re-written, rather than a developer having to start from scratch.
Because Le Select is based on a fully distributed system architecture, a program can run on one Le Select server whilst using data from another server. The system sends the data to the server where the program is running, coordinates its execution and sends back the results to the client as relational table.

Famous quotes containing the words system and/or architecture:
“For the universe has three children, born at one time, which reappear, under different names, in every system of thought, whether they be called cause, operation, and effect; or, more poetically, Jove, Pluto, Neptune; or, theologically, the Father, the Spirit, and the Son; but which we will call here, the Knower, the Doer, and the Sayer. These stand respectively for the love of truth, for the love of good, and for the love of beauty.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Art is a jealous mistress, and if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider, and should be wise in season and not fetter himself with duties which will embitter his days and spoil him for his proper work.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
