Technical details.

The EGDMS uses web-services, which is a way for machines or programs to communicate with each other, without any barriers like the operating system or the programming language. In practice however, initial configurations to connect to the web-service may take time, specially if you are not experienced with how SOAP and REST works. To overcome this, we are providing clients in multiple languages. Currently we have Java, R, Python and we will extend the list if there are requests.
