Geoserver is used as a repository for raster geospatial layers and a renderer for vector layers stored in CKAN.

-The architecture ​of the platform ​consists mainly in a Data Hub module ​and a multi-site front-end. Both components will be integrated side-by-side in the architecture. Users will be able to access both directly or through internal links, navigation should be intuitive for the user while browsing through both components.+Unlike the first generation ​of the ODM platform, CKAN is now visible ​and accessible ​to the general public.
  
-{{ :gen_ii_architecture_.png?direct&900|}}+There are 6 Wordpress sites with independent databases, one for each locale, as well as 6 CKAN sites sharing the same underlying database.

 For this module, existing frameworks have been considered to be adopted and building the whole technology solution from scratch discarded. Since using Open Source technologies is a major factor for the selection of the framework to adopt, this research has focused on CKAN (http://​ckan.org). For this module, existing frameworks have been considered to be adopted and building the whole technology solution from scratch discarded.
