A Lightweight Introduction to the Humboldt Framework
Humboldt Deliverable A5.2-D3 (December 2009)
The Humboldt Architecture Team gives a lightweight introduction to the Humboldt Framework Specification Version 3. It contains a description of the concepts and components from a high-level point of view and gives pointers to the relevant specification documents. Further, it gives a detailed example of how the Humboldt components are used within one of the Humboldt scenarios (Protected Areas).

Concept of Component Validation 3.0
Humboldt Deliverable A6.1-D3 (December 2009)
Definition of software quality assurance terms and concept of component validation activities in Humboldt for version 3 components.
The document is available as PDF (892 kB).
User Involvement Document (Forth Version)
Humboldt Humboldt Deliverable A1.8-D6 (December 2010)
The purpose of this Document is to describe and monitor the way end users are involved in Humboldt. This is the final version. The User Involvement Document has been updated regularly to monitor the amount and quality of end-user involvement into the project.
The document is available as PDF (457 kB).
Process specification evaluation and improvement
Humboldt Deliverable A4.3-D2 (November 2009)
This deliverable comprises the processes for a collaborative software development. The transfer of the specifications expressed in Deliverable A4.2-D1 from abstractness to practicability was the purpose of the work carried out in the A4.3 period. In this period we have looked for the further improvement of the collaboration and fluid communication between Humboldt partners, in this sense, the establishment of methodologies and procedures to follow have been agreed among interested parties and are reflected in the current document. Additionally, a deep analysis of the used tools and actual needs in terms of applications for cooperation have been carried out, resulting on a complete technical infrastructure that reader can find described in one of the chapters of the current deliverable.
The document is available as PDF (932 kB).
Humboldt Commons Specification / Framework Common Data Model V3
Humboldt Deliverable A5.3-D3 (November 2009)
This document gives a description of the data structures / data models used by different Humboldt components. For an overview of the entire framework v3.0 description, please refer to the main specification documents A5.2-D3 [3.0] and [3.1].
The document is available as PDF (220 kB).
Concept of Data Harmonisation Processes
Humboldt Deliverable A7.0-D2 (October 2009)
This document contains the final version of deliverable A7.0 on the concept of the data harmonisation process. Its content is a description of the data harmonisation processing pipe as well as actual problems which occur in schema transformation, such as quality loss, changes in metadata, insufficient mapping functionality of tools and mapping languages, etc.
The document contains the experiences from a task force on conceptual schema translation, which was formed in the Humboldt project in early summer 2008 in order to perform extensive tests with existing methods and tools. Tests were carried out using mainly data and a use case from the ERiskA scenario, concerning the lake Constance region with data from two German states, Austria and Switzerland.
The document is available as PDF (540 kB).
Framework Specification 2.0: Specification Introduction and Overview
Humboldt Deliverable A5.2-D2 (January/April 2009)
This document focuses on providing an overview of the Humboldt framework for service integration and the toolset for data harmonisation. It details the approach for the creation of this second milestone specification, gives a detailed example of Humboldt software usage and provides an overview of the framework and its components. This overview is formalized in the form of the RM-ODP viewpoints, and starts with a high-level business requirements perspective.
The document is available as PDF (2.6 MB).

Handbook of Standards
Humboldt Deliverable A3.6-D2 (Oct. 2007)
This document contains the conclusions of the state of the art analysis in spatial data tools and in software architectures. It includes a classification of standards, tools and architectures, which determines their suitability and future application in the Humboldt framework and scenarios. The process for the generation of this document is based on the methodology documented in A3.1-D1.

Report on Software distribution strategies and business models
Humboldt Deliverable A2.4-D1 (Sept. 2007)
Report on “Software distribution strategies and business models” gives an overview of different software distribution strategies and analyzes their suitability to Humboldt infrastructure. The main attention is paid to the open source business models as the open source methodic is expected to be mostly acceptable solution for the ESDI software distribution strategy.
