Abstract

A new approach has been developed and implemented that allows developers to link applications based on the analysis and combination of data with eCl@ss properties during their creation and to add new eCl@ss content as needed. The application’s data models can be created entirely during the development process based on eCl@ss properties, while the creation and the use of data are completely separated. By means
of the new approach, new content is immediately available and the application’s data can be interpreted by third parties. An information model based on industry standards ensures the quality of newly added properties. The resultant ease of quality review of new eCl@ss content is expected to lead to a more flexible and faster use of the classification system for new applications. The approach shows a new way to enable the agile development of classification systems such as eCl@ss, so that they can keep pace with the dynamic development of new applications.
