Its core is based on the Eclise RCP platform for portability and modularity, and its internal components rely on a Database-oriented and fully scriptable controller to ease the cross-referencing and labeling of your favorite pieces of art.
The Tale of Orpheus
The codename of the project comes from the Greek hero Orpheus, mostly renowned for the tale of his failure at saving his beloved Eurydice from the depth of the Underworld, where he managed to charm Hades with his Lyra to earn the right of bringing her back to life.
