Overview of A&AI

Jimmy Forsyth

• Jimmy gave an overview of A&AI, talked about

  • the microservice repositories

  • main repos of the service: aai-common, aai/resources, aai/traversal. The rest providers in aai/resources and aai/traversal are front-ended by HAProxy

  • the OXM schema

  • dynamic creation of URLs and resources

  • parent/child containment within the schema

  • createDBSchema uses OXM and DBEdgeRules to populate the Titan schema

  • vertices correspond to java types in the OXM, edges are defined by the edge rules class (soon to be a config file)

  • cousin edges are built / displayed using the RelationshipList abstraction which isolates the clients from edge details

  • the REST providers (main entry point for graph CRUD operations is LegacyMoxyConsumer)

  • AJSC endpoint definitions (src/main/ajsc/ajsc-aai_v1/conf/jaxrsBeans.groovy)

  • Wangrui suggests using a clean schema for Amsterdam, question about why we use v11 for release 1 of Amsterdam
