5.1. What is a Channel?

A channel is a collection of components that must be assembled in order to organise an automatic data flow and process from an external system A to another external system B.

The key components are:

The way in which Babelway is interfaced with system A, called the “gateway in”.
The way in which system A formats data, called the “message in”.
The format in which system B wants to receive data, called the “message out”.
The way in which Babelway is interfaced with system B, called the “gateway out”.
