Entire framework in one flowchart
=======================================

The developers build the entire framework. 
The users only have access to the high level, easy-to-use interface.
See also :ref:`useCases`.

See :ref:`framework` for a detailed description of the framework components.

There are two distinct parts in the developer-only lower half of the chart:

- Model libraries (lower left) and
- Interfaces to systems and data sources (lower right)

The two parts can be developed independently of each other.
The interfaces component may require hooks written in other programming
languages.
However, Python does the driving.
