People

Getting code

  • You can browse the code here
  • Check out from: http://svn.clarin.eu/cats/ISOcat

System Requirements

Dependencies

There are several other CLARIN projects that make use of data categories and use the ISOcat REST API:

There are also companion registries under development:

Building and Deploying

  • download and install ​1060 NetKernel 3.3.1 Standard Edition Development Kit
  • start NetKernel using the appropiate startup script in 1060-NKSEDK-3.3.1/bin
  • goto ​http://localhost:1060
  • goto the Module Management Wizard in the control panel and update all existing modules
    • at time of writing this will update the HTTP Client Services, the HTTP Transport and XQuery
  • shutdown NetKernel (Kernel Shutdown in the control panel)
  • checkout our precompiled NetKernel patches from cats/patches/NetKernel/trunk/dist
  • and copy these files in the equivalent places in your NetKernel? installation directory
  • remove all jars from 1060-NKSEDK-3.3.1/lib/expanded, so the libraries our patched modules use will be unpacked with a next restart
  • checkout some 3rd party NetKernel modules from cats/patches/NetKernel/trunk/contrib
  • copy these jars into 1060-NKSEDK-3.3.1/modules
  • add the following to the end (before </modules>) 1060-NKSEDK-3.3.1/etc/deployedModules.xml to enable these modules 
    <module>modules/mod-e4x-1.0.0.jar</module>
<module>modules/db-metadata.jar</module>
<module>modules/mod-stink-0.1.0.jar</module>
<module>modules/test-stink-0.1.0.jar</module>
  • checkout the ISOcat NetKernel modules from cats/ISOcat/trunk in your ISOcat source code folder
  • the modules in the develop are NetKernel modules to serve static files that in a production environment will be served by the HTTP server, e.g., Apache
  • some of these static files need to be downloaded and placed in the right directory
    • download the ​General Interface 3.9.1 Debug edition (in a production environment use the Standard edition) and place the content of the archive into the develop/mod-gi/gi/3.9.1/ directory
    • download the ​Tango icon library tango-icon-theme and place the content of the archive into the develop/mod-Tango/Tango/ directory (in a production environment ISOcat only needs the 16x16 subdirectory)
    • download the ​famfamfam silk icon library and place the content of the archive into the develop/mod-famfamfam/famfamfam/silk directory
    • download the ​silk companion and place the content of the archive into the develop/mod-famfamfam/famfamfam/silk-companion directory (there are several other silk companion icon sets, which might be interesting for new developments)

Interfaces

There is a ​public readonly REST API and the ​General Interface web UI.

Manual

See ​the manual page at isocat.org

Design

Tickets

There is a public ​bug and issue tracker at SourceForge.

Servers

The ISOcat production server is ​www.isocat.org.

The ISOcat test server is ​lux13, which also hosts alpha versions of RELcat and SCHEMAcat.
