COLD is implemented as three web web services

  • cold web UI
  • cold JSON API (provided by datasetd)
  • cold reports (the report request system)

Reports are implemented as a set of programs or bash scripts.

TypeScript+Deno is used to implement the web UI and report system. The JSON API is provided by Dataset's datasetd. Access control is provided by the front end web server integrated with Shibboleth.
