An important aspect of ontology management is the ability to better understand your ontologies. This deliverable is a graphical user interface (GUI) for reporting functionality that is intended to provide this understanding as it provides repository browsing and various graphical reports.
The tool will be implemented partly as an eclipse plugin but mostly as a web interface application that takes into consideration usability requirements.
The diagram below depicts the planed architecture for the reporting tool deliverable.
Nature: tool
Interfaces (API, Web Services): Graphical User Interface.
Platform:web server.
Supported standards:WSMO, OMWG Versioning.
Required Libraries (OMWG, SDK Cluster, WSMO-related):
In order to report on ontologies and mappings, data needs to be in the repository first. Therefore, it is assumed that a Unicorn repository already exists on the web server host.
The Unicorn reporting tool for DIP is a J2EE web application that can be deployed on any J2EE web server.
A recommend free lightweight option is Apache Tomcat. A Tomcat installation can be downloaded from: http://www.unicorn.com/dip/webrt/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.18.zip
To install and run Tomcat, simply extract jakarta-tomcat-5.0.18.zip file and perform the steps in section 5.2. Then start Tomcat by running the jakarta-tomcat-5.0.18/bin/startup script.
In order to view the reporting tool visual graphs, install Adobe SVG plugin for your browser.
Download the “dip.zip” file, rename to “dip.war” (many browsers do not enable download of “war” files), and put it under %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps dir (e.g., jakarta-tomcat-5.0.18/webapps).
Now start Tomcat.
Open a browser and type the URL: http://localhost:8080/dip
Please see user guide http://www.unicorn.com/dip/webrt/v0.2/20060101/ReportingToolManual.pdf
The final release is planned for June 2006.
