Back End

The PeerNet network consists of interoperable applications that share and communicate data that is submitted to them.

PeerNet repositories can be programmed by any development team as long as they adhere to a simple evolving set of community interpersonal and technical standards regarding PeerNet nodes.

Inter-Operability

There are two crucial standards for an application to be recognized by other PeerNet applications:

  • Openness: all data must be shared and distributed to other PeerNet applications
  • Persistence: all data must never be deleted

Front End

PeerNet interfaces can be programmed by any development team as long as they adhere to a simple evolving set of community interpersonal and technical standards regarding PeerNet interfaces.
