5. OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES 5 www.seadatanet.org 3 rd SeaDataNet training course – Ostende – 16-19 June 2008  Technical characteristics Written in Java Language (Version >= 1.6) Available under multiple environments : Microsoft : Windows 2000, XP, VISTA APPLE Unix - Solaris Linux Use of the SeaDataNet common vocabularies web services to update lists of values of the SeaDataNet common vocabularies need network connections in order to have up to date lists of values. But Mikado works offline once the list are up-to-date

6. OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES 6 www.seadatanet.org 3 rd SeaDataNet training course – Ostende – 16-19 June 2008  MIKADO main features (1) MIKADO can be used in 2 different ways One manual way, to input manually information for the catalogues and CDI in order to generate XML files. One automatic way, to generate XML descriptions automatically, from information catalogued in a relational database. Automatic way is needed for those who have many entries referenced in a relational database Only one interface for all catalogues Same look Same principles
