For technical users
The Toolbox uses a modular microservices architecture. Major functions operate as separate services and communicate through defined REST APIs. This supports independent development and maintenance of components and allows the Toolbox to operate as a standalone platform or connect with wider digital workflows.
Responsive web interface for users and visual results. Web broswer (desktop, tablet, mobile).
Cost benefit analyser, performance assessment, recommender system, evidence dataset management.
Core analytical tools and supporting services.
Files, documents, outputs and supporting databases.
Stores input data, results, and reference data (e.g case studies, indicators).
Identity and access management using Keycloak.
Secure login, user management, and role-based access control.
The D5.4 technical report states that the registration email address is the only personal data requested and stored for user registration, with authentication managed through Keycloak. It also describes encrypted transmission, access controls and account-deletion rights.
The Toolbox exposes its core functionality through standard HTTP APIs. This creates opportunities to connect selected functions with other platforms, dashboards or organisational workflows, subject to the applicable access, licensing and ownership arrangements.
The Invest4Nature Decision Support Toolbox was developed collaboratively within the Invest4Nature Horizon Europe project. Rights in project results are governed by the Invest4Nature Grant Agreement, Consortium Agreement and the ownership of the relevant project results and background. If you are interested in reusing, integrating, adapting or further developing the Toolbox or one of its components, please contact the project team so that the appropriate technical and rights arrangements can be discussed.
The existing architecture and API approach provide a practical base for further development. Subject to funding, ownership and partner agreement, potential next steps could include:
