As this document is a reference manual the chapters are as independent of others as possible. The intent is that a reader is aware of a concept that they wish to get further details on, finds the relevant chapter in this document and need only read that chapter. While it is not expected that this document be read from cover to cover it has been structured in such a way as to make such a reading possible and productive.
Some parts of the Cúram WMS itself draw heavily on each other and as such the documentation reflects this. These external references come in two flavors: prerequisites which are pointers to information that is indispensable in understanding the section at hand and general links which highlight related but not required information.
