-== Implementation of the analysis step without OMI ==
+== Implementation Variants before PDAF3 ==
 
-PDAF-OMI was introduced with version 1.16 of PDAF. While we recommend using OMI, the [wiki:OfflineImplementationofAnalysisStep_noOMI implementation of the analysis step without OMI] is still possible.
+=== Implementation of the analysis step using PDAF-OMI without PDAFlocal ===
 
+Before releasing PDAF V3.0 with its now PDAF3-interface routines for the analysis step, using the PDAF Observation Module Interface (PDAF-OMI) was recommended. PDAFlocal was introduced with PDAF V2.3 in September 2024 as an add-on to PDAF-OMI. With PDAFlocal we simplified the localization of the state vector. Implementations done before the release of PDAF V2.3 likely use PDAF-OMI without PDAFlocal.
+
+|| For reference we provide the documentation on the  **[wiki:ImplementAnalysisLocal_untilPDAF221 implementation of the analysis step with PDAF-OMI not using PDAFlocal].** ||
+
+=== Implementation of the analysis step using PDAF's full interface ===
+
+The full interface omits the use of PDAF-OMI for the observation handling, and PDAFlocal for the simplified handling of localization. Using the full interface is an 'expert mode' because it requires to implement a larger number of call-back routines. Nonetheless, assimilation systems implemented before the introduction of PDAF-OMI with Version 1.16 in November 2020 might still use this approach.

+|| For reference we provide the documentation on the  **[wiki:OfflineImplementationofAnalysisStep_noOMI implementation of the analysis step without OMI]**, which is still possible. ||
