This is the xOWL Collaboration Platform, a set of components for the construction of collaboration platform based on a semantic principles. The xOWL Collaboration Platform enables the federation of heterogeneous datasets into a semantically coherent common representation so that business analyses can be performed. Typical applications to system engineering include the federation of Requirements, Functional Architectures, System Architectures, Safety Analyses and more.
The xOWL Collaboration Platform can be used through the downloadable distribution or by using the Docker image.
To use the downloadable distribution (Java 8 required), simply download it.
Then to administer the platform, use the provided admin.sh script:
# Launch the platform
$ ./admin.sh start
# Stop the platform
$ ./admin.sh stop
With a web-browser, go to https://localhost:8443/web/.
The default administrator login and password are admin and admin.
To install the xOWL Collaboration Platform as a linux daemon, simply run (sudo will be asked for):
$ ./install-daemon.sh
Then, the daemon can be controlled as usual:
$ sudo service xowl-platform start
$ sudo service xowl-platform stop
$ sudo service xowl-platform restart
The xOWL Collaboration Platform is also available as a Docker image at nexus.cenotelie.fr/xowl/xowl-platform:latest.
To run the latest image:
$ docker run -d -p 8443:8443 -p 8080:8080 --name my-instance -v /path/to/host/data:/xowl/data nexus.cenotelie.fr/xowl/xowl-platform:latest
Replace the /path/to/host/data to a path where to store the platform's data on your system.
With a web-browser, go to https://localhost:8443/web/.
The default administrator login and password are admin and admin.
The xOWL Collaboration Platform can be extended by deploying your own bundles into the platform. To define your own extension, refer to the paragraph in xOWL Toolkit about how to define a derived platform.
To build the artifacts in this repository using Maven:
$ mvn clean install -Dgpg.skip=true
Then, to build the other redistributable artifacts (redistributable package and Docker image):
$ ./.releng/build.sh
For this, Docker must be locally installed.
