 # Prereqs
 Docker and Docker-compose are both required.

+The primary components of DeltaBreed are the Web UI (Breeding-Insight/bi-web) and the API (Breeding-Insight/bi-api).
+The [BrAPI Java Server](https://github.com/plantbreeding/brapi-Java-TestServer) is used for phenotypic data storage, [Gigwa](https://github.com/SouthGreenPlatform/Gigwa2) is used for genotypic data storage, and interoperability with external applications such as [Field Book](https://github.com/PhenoApps/Field-Book/) is enabled by [BrAPI](https://brapi.org/).
+DeltaBreed uses [ORCID](https://orcid.org/) for authentication.
