+These Section configures the Factories for Artifacts which can be used.
+The meaning of artifact-factories are explained in Section TODO: LINK to Model of Transition

 \subsubsection{gnv}
+
+This Section configures all GNV-specific settings of the Artifact-Server.

+
 \subsubsection{mapserver}
+
+The Section Mapserver is introduced to be able to configure all Settings which 
+are required to setup the WMS-Export of the GNV-Artifacts.
+
+It is possible to Configure the following settings:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item server: The URL the WMS of the GNV-Artifacts will be reached from
+                  Clients.
+\end{itemize}

 \subsubsection{velocity}
+
+Velocity is an Library which is used in this Project.
+Velocity has it's own Logging, so that it is necessary to configure
+this to get Loginformations.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item logfile: The absolute Path to the Logfile of Velocity.

 \subsubsection{ehcache}
+
+The Ehcache is used to implement an Cache storing the Thematic-Data of the
+different Sessions.
+
+It is possible to configure this Cache in many ways. To realize this it is
+possible to configure the following settings:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item configuration: The absolute Path to the Configuration-File.
+                         It is possible to start with \$\{artifacts.config.dir\}
+                         to reference the file from the Directory which includes
+                         the Configuration

-        ST\_ASTEXT(RASTER)
+The geo-backend is an separate Module of this Project. It encapsulate the logic
+which is required to provide the Access to the Databasebackend.
+At this Time only the Access to the ArcSDE is implemented.
+
+To setup the geo-backend the following settings are required:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item backend-configuration: The absolute Path to the File which contains the
+                                 properties to establish the Connection to the 
+                                 Databasebackend.
+    \item query-configuration: The absolute Path to the File which contains all
+                               SQL-Statements which are required to fetch the
+                               Thematic-Data
+\end{itemize}
+
+Both Path can start with \$\{artifacts.config.dir\} to reference the file from 
+the Directory which includes the Configuration.
+\paragraph{Backend-Configuration (arcsdeconnectionpool.properties)}
+
+\paragraph{Query-configuration (queries.properties)}
+
+This File contains Key-Value-Pairs to define SQL-Statements.
+All Queries will be handle using the Prepared-Statement-Syntax using "?"
+to define an Place where an dynamic Value should be placed into the Statement.
+
+There is one special Implementation to support spatial access to the ArcSDE,
+because the ArcSDE does not support the Access to spatial Objects using the
+definition of the Simple Feature Specification for SQL of the OGC.
+
+It was necessary to implement this mechanism to simulate the Access.
+
+All Queries which contains the following Literals will be handle separate
+using the ArcSDE-API.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item ST\_ASTEXT(SHAPE): Will return the Geometry as an WellKnowText (WKT)
+    \item ST\_ASTEXT(RASTER): Will return the Raster in an readable Way.
+    \item INTERSECTS(SHAPE,"?"): Will only return the Elements which Geometry
+                                 intersects the given Geometry ("?" will be 
+                                 replace with an WKT)
