Introduction

This is a simple test drive for you to try VocBench by using the embedded sesame component for creating a very simple project. We will use a small thesaurus developed in FAO as a test data sample. So follow strictly the "e.g." suggestions if you want to get this it working with the provide example.

Create a new project    

  • Login with the administrator privilege (Only administrator are allowed to delete the project)
  • Once logged in, the list of currently available project will be displayed.
  • On the top right corner, click [+] button to add the project.
  • A window will be prompted to input the following parameters:
    • Project name (e.g. LandAndWater)
    • Project description (A project describing concepts about Land and Water Management)
    • Project type (Type of the project (OWL, SKOS, SKOS-XL). Only SKOS-XL is available at the moment)
    • Base URI: (e.g. http://www.fao.org/landandwater/  it is important to keep the ending "/" )
    • Semantic Turkey Server URL
  • Click [Connect] button to test the connection to ST Server.
    • If failed, will prompt service failed message. Check if ST Server is running and connection URL is correct.
    • In case of successful connection, it will prompt list of triple Store: OntologyManagerFactorySesame2Impl
  • After triple store selection, it will prompt for available triple storage mode as follows
    • In memory/persistent
    • In memory/no persist
    • Native store/persistent
    • Remote access
    now, to create a plain Sesame2 project (no OWLIM)
    1. select “in memory/persistent” or "native store/persistent"
    2. You can leave the other parameter values (1000, true, true) as they are

Manage the SKOS Concept Scheme

  • After login, you will be directed to concept module.
  • If no concept scheme is selected by default, you will be prompted to go to Scheme module to select concept scheme.
  • Click on the [Schemes] link on the main menu bar, to go to Schemes module.
  • List of available concept schemes will be displayed.
  • If none of them is available, click [+] button on top right corner of list box to add new scheme.
  • Add scheme window will be prompted to add following parameters:
    • Scheme URI (e.g. http://www.fao.org/landandwater no ending slash "/" here )
    • Scheme label (e.g. "core scheme for the land and water thesaurus")
    • Scheme language (e.g. "en")
  • After clicking [Add] button, newly added scheme will be displayed in the list.
  • To select the scheme, click on the check box.

    Now that a scheme has been created, you can start editing concepts. Anyway, let's start from a pre-build thesaurus, by loading its data

Loading pre-existing data

Creating a new User

We suppose here that you are both the user and administrator of vocbench (see section 4 on VOCBENCH setup).

To add a new user in VocBench follow these steps:

  • Go to http://localhost:8080/vocbench-2.0/index.html and click on "Create an account" under the login form on the right of the page
  • Input all the required information. It is better, even if it is not mandatory, to specify the "Languages you wish to manage" and the "Ontology you wish to manage"
  • At this point the account is not yet allowed to log on.
    • As a user, you can wait for the confirmation email that a request has been sent to the administrator
    • As administrator, you can wait for the email and follow its instructions

If you do not receive any email (maybe a misplaced configuration) you need to manually enable the account by modifying the admin DB (see FAQ 1)

  • No labels
