This page collects documentation pages about the fundamental building blocks of Equinox. The focus here is not on technical (developer oriented) building blocks but rather the user oriented views.
NOTE: Equinox is still in active development. As the functionality of the platform is enhanced, the documentation will be enriched and updated, following also user feedback.
Conceptual Equinox building blocks and how they can be used
Equinox uses a number of flexible abstractions (data models) that different workflows may compose and use in slightly different ways. This design allows flexibility towards implementing a growing range of sustainable finance and portfolio management applications.
The main data categories that users can handle in Equinox
The Equinox platform uses at its backend a powerful database that supports storing a variety of data formats. This versatility is essential if one is to work with diverse data sources to obtain a holistic view of “ground truth”. Here we discuss three important sub-categories that are used throughout the platform.
The equinox user interface and its main pages
Users access and make use of Equinox through a number of “pages” that work similar to most web applications.
