What are the benefits of linked universe? |
| |
- A dynamic link may considerably reduce development and maintenance
time. When you modify a component in the kernel universe, DESIGNER propagates the change to the same component in all the derived universes.
- Instead of re–creating common components each time you create a new universe, you can centralize such components in a kernel universe, and then include them in all new universes.
- Linked universes facilitate specialization. Development can be split between database administrators who set up a basic kernel universe, and the more specialized designers who create more functional universes based on their specific field.
