Introduction

This chapter gives an overview of the interfaces used in OpenCAGE.

We use interfaces to isolate OpenCAGE from some external parts, so that these parts can be replaced by another solution. For example, the RFG is isolated from OpenCAGE by the Graph Interface (GIF) which is implemented by the Adapter. Thus it is possible to replace the RFG by another graph system.
