Module Architecture
INTAGIUM's modules are built on the Cosmos SDK framework, which provides a robust foundation for modular blockchain development. Each module operates independently while sharing common infrastructure for state management, transaction processing, and inter-module communication.
Modular Design Principles
Interoperability: Each module is designed to work seamlessly with other modules and the core Cosmos SDK functionality. Modules can share data and trigger actions across the ecosystem.
Governance Control: Modules can be activated, deactivated, or modified through INTAGIUM's governance system, ensuring that the platform can evolve based on community needs.
Extensibility: The modular architecture allows for new modules to be added without disrupting existing functionality, enabling continuous innovation and adaptation.
Standards Compliance: All modules follow consistent design patterns and API standards, making integration and development predictable and efficient.
Common Module Features
All INTAGIUM modules share certain common characteristics:
Message Types: Each module defines specific message types that enable users to interact with module functionality through transactions.
Query Types: Comprehensive query capabilities allow users to retrieve information and monitor module state.
Keeper Functions: Core business logic is implemented in keeper functions that handle validation, state changes, and cross-module interactions.
CLI Commands: Command-line interfaces provide direct access to module functionality for developers and power users.
REST APIs: RESTful APIs enable integration with web applications and external systems.
Genesis Configuration: Configurable parameters allow customization of module behavior and operational limits.
Integration Patterns
Cross-Module Interactions
INTAGIUM's modules are designed to work together, creating powerful combinations of functionality:
DRM + DOR Integration: Content registered in the DRM module can be tokenized as assets in the DOR module, enabling complex licensing and ownership arrangements.
EDM + DRM Integration: The EDM module can provide secure storage and delivery for DRM-protected content, ensuring that licensing terms are enforced at the data level.
Infra + All Modules: The Infrastructure module can coordinate resources needed by other modules, such as storage nodes for EDM or distribution networks for DRM.
External System Integration
Each module provides comprehensive APIs for integration with external systems:
REST APIs: Standard HTTP APIs for web application integration gRPC APIs: High-performance APIs for system-to-system communication WebSocket APIs: Real-time APIs for live updates and notifications CLI Tools: Command-line interfaces for scripting and automation
