Logically, Oracle Determinations Server may be thought of as a service on a remote machine, providing the operations necessary to perform an assessment of a case where all of the necessary data has already been acquired.
Physically, Oracle Determinations Server manifests itself as a web service exposing one port consisting of a number of Determinations Server Services and Rulebase Web Services, that are accessible via SOAP packets.
To the client application, depending upon the implementation language, Oracle Determinations Server may simply look like a remote object with a number of services. However, regardless of the client application’s implementation viewpoint, the semantics of the service’s exposed operations remain the same.
