Support multiple data processors #9

Open dswisher opened 4 years ago

dswisher commented 4 years ago

The current vision is to document a single "data processor" - something that takes in 1..n data sources and emits 1..n data sinks. Extend this vision to include multiple "nodes", documenting the flows between each.

That would allow creation of data flow diagrams (DFDs), showing the relationships between all the nodes.

The current version supports any number of sources and sinks. The part that is lacking is the "glue" between them: how the sources and sinks relate to each other. So creating DFDs would be possible, but they would just have boxes - no arrows.
