System Architecture

Overall Architecture

The COLD platform uses a multi-tier architecture:

  1. Data Layer:

    • PostgreSQL database for data storage and direct integration with NocoDB and web app

  2. Application Layer:

    • API interface to PostgreSQL
    • Custom web application for public access
    • Container-based microservices for specific functionality

  3. Presentation Layer:

    • Web interface accessible at https://cold.global
    • Administrative interface for research team (NocoDB)

Database Architecture

The system uses a relational database model with multiple interconnected tables. The database structure is organized to represent relationships between different legal concepts and objects through linked record fields.
