OpenHandle: Languages Support

Tony Hammond – 2008 April 21

In Handle

Following up the earlier post on OpenHandle, there are now a number of language examples which have been contributed to the project. The diagram below shows the OpenHandle service in schematic with various languages support. Briefly, OpenHandle aims to provide a web services interface to the Handle System to simplify access to the data stored for a given Handle.

(Note that the diagram is an HTML imagemap and all elements are “clickable”.)

Note: this diagram is no longer available online as of 2023. We show the code here for reference.
