[Jonto-users] R: R: Jeromedl customization: localization of taxonomies, wordnet vocabulary, and indexing properties

[Giuseppe B. <giu...@al...>]

Hi Matheus!
as from the below mailing with Sebastian I would  customize the jonto =
taxonomies in Jeromedl by adding a new domain taxonomy. So, after the =
svn of the whole Jonto project, I built a new Jonto taxonomy project, as =
from the below Sebastian's suggestions. I named my JOnto taxonomy =
project "JOnto_dcont".  The building process seemed  to be successful, =
but at the launching of Jeromedl as well of the http interface of the =
underlying sesame platform, the new dcont taxonomy is not loaded. I =
realized my dcont taxonomy building by a step by step process as =
follows. Please verify it and let me know about what is wrong or =
missing.

Thanks in advance,
Giuseppe

Step by step building process:
1) Creation of a new project folder ( "JOnto_dcont") by copying the =
whole folder of a previous Jonto taxonomy folder (ex. the JOnto_acm);
2) Customization of the new folder by:
	2.1	renaming the *Context.java and *Parser.java respectively to =
DcontContext.java and DcontParser.java, and adaptation of the internal =
code by 			string find and replace actions respectively on the =
pre-existent taxonomy name  and the new taxonomy one.
	2.2	adaptation of the build.xml and of the .project files by string =
find and replace actions as above;
	2.3	ant generation of the jonto_dcont.jar, and its storage into the =
JOnto_dcont/lib folder;
3) Updating of the JOnto_base module by:
	3.1	including reference of the new Context getting method in =
JOnto_base/src/context.properties;
	3.2	adaptation of the build.xml file, with reference to the new =
taxonomy in the various sections (i.e: property name, target name, copy =
todir);
	3.3	generation of the updated jonto_base.jar;
4) Updating of the JOnto_webapp module by:
	4.1	adaptation of the build.xml file as for Jonto_base;
	4.2	generation of the updated jonto_webapp.jar;
5) copy of jonto_user.jar, jonto_base.jar in the Tomcat lib;
6) copy of the JOnto_webapp.jar in the Jeromedl_webapp/WEB-IF/lib.

Giuseppe,

just a short sum up:

1) yes this is the way to do it - just copy the structure for yourself =20
- and please include reference in JOnto_base/src/context.properties. =20
The format is -> full Java path to the Context class =3D name of the =20
Context getting method (singleton implementation)

2) We will need to wait for Matuesz

3) yes, I clearly understand you. I was hoping to do such a thing with =20
Polish a long time ago. I just have never find enough time to proceed. =20
Together with Mateusz we have initiated a research that can be extend =20
to cover this topic [http://library.deri.ie/resource/YuynUqdU]. The =20
idea is to mine the translations based on the co-occurrence of various =20
tags used. That is just one way to handle that - and do some cool =20
research at the same time :)

Cheers,

S.
