README - Information Currency Web Services (ICWS)
----------------------------------------
This is software to create and service information currencies. For
an introduction to information currency, look at IC-intro.txt in the
doc directory or go to http://infoeng.sf.net.
- How do I install the software?
Please consult the file INSTALL in this directory.
- How do I use the software?
Once the ICWS web application is installed, with an interface to
the appropriate database, requests can be issued to the ICWS
application to generate information currency. The information
currency units thus generated are then maintained by the ICWS server.
A primitive client for issuance of information currency is included
with this distribution. Use the command
java org.infoeng.icws.clients.URLIssuanceClient
to obtain the usage instructions.
- Why should I use the software?
Information currency is designed to enable more efficient economic
calculation for the production and utilitization of information.
- What are the intellectual property restrictions on this code?
The code is licensed using the Apache open-source license
(http://www.opensource.org/licenses/apachepl.php).
