The project contains several README* files that show in more detail how to build the OpenLink Structured DataEditor in various operating system environments.

The build system creates both ardf_editor_dav.vad file that can be used with theOpenLink Virtuoso Universal Server orOpenLink Virtuoso Open Source Editionprojects and ardf_editor_pkg.tar.gz andrdf_editor_pkg.zip file that can be used to build anddeploy the application on many http servers such as:

• Apache

  • Download and install Apache (v2.x).

  • Extract Structured Data Editor:

    unzip rdf_editor_pkg.zip -d [PATH]

  • Add new drectory (/rdf-edtor) with Structured Data Editor to the server configuration:

  • Start Apache Server.

    [APACHE HOME]/bin/httpd

  • Usage:

    [Default Browser] localhost:[port]/rdf-editor/index.html

• IIS (Windows Only)

  • Start IIS.

  • Extract Structured Data Editor:

    unzip rdf_editor_pkg.zip -d [IIS Root Path]

  • Usage:

    [Default Browser] localhost:[port]/rdf-editor/index.html

• Tomcat

  • Download and install Tomcat (v8.x).

  • Start Tomcat.

    [TOMCAT HOME]/bin/startup

  • Extract Structured Data Editor:

    unzip rdf_editor_pkg.zip -d [TOMCAT HOME]/webapps/Root

  • Usage:

    [Default Browser] localhost:[port]/rdf-editor/index.html

• Node.js http-server

  • Download and install Node.js.

  • Download and install NPM manager.

  • Extract Structured Data Editor:

    unzip rdf_editor_pkg.zip -d [Structured Data Editor Path]

    The http-server is a simple, zero-configuration command-line http server.

  • Installation:

    npm install http-server -g

    This will install http-server globally so that it may be run from the command line.

  • Start HTTP Server:

    http-server [Structured Data Editor Path]/rdf-editor [options]

  • Usage:

    [Default Browser] localhost:[port]/index.html

The project contains several README* files that show how to deploy the OpenLink Structured Data Editor invarious operating system environments.

OpenLink Software publishes the rdf-editor source tree to GitHub and encourages everyone who isinterested in tracking the project to make an account there.
