# README StAppsCore - Generalized model of data ## What is the StAppsCore? The StAppsCore (SC) is a generalized model of data. SC is based on the idea of [schema.org](https://www.schema.org). The SC structures data by describing objects as so called SC-types like: Event, Place, Date, Person, ... Data sources of the same type of data are assigned to the same SC-type. ### Requirements for the SC * Study processes which can be generalized are abstracted and modeled in that manner that the structure can be adapted to any german university. * It must be platform- and software-independent. * Search interface must be clearly specified that different working groups with different search tools can retrieve the same search results. * Must be expandable.
