An earlier version of the DIDB was described in Chapter 14 of the previous edition of this book (5). The new DIDB application launched in 2005 has a typical multitier architecture in a Microsoft . NET environment. The back end is a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and the current application is deployed on a Web farm. Currently, the database has data extracted from more than 6280 published articles (1966 to 2007) related to drug metabolism and DIs and 260 product labels (1998 to 2007). The use of the Web facilitates worldwide access as well as upgrades and updates the DIDB is updated daily. 

The two major enterprise development platforms Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) and Microsoft .Net are supporting this kind of software architecture. They can be seen as a stack of common services, like relational database access, messaging, enterprise components, or support for web services, that each platform provides to their applications. With this knowledge in the back of one s mind, the question which platform to use can be answered based on the expertise of the team members, their preferences, and based on the existing hardware and software infrastructure. 

Many software systems have dependencies on other software components and whilst some of these may be well defined, others may remain a little nebulous. Either way the relationships need to be understood particularly where the availability of one system is critical for that of another. An interesting question also arises in thinking about how deep is one obliged to delve into a system s dependencies For example, a HIT system may utilise the Microsoft. Net framework to provide a number of shared libraries and common functional components. These components will typically rely on the Microsoft Windows operating system, the operating system will have dependencies on various software drivers and so on.
