  • In memory/persistent
  • In memory/no persist
  • Native store/persistent
  • Remote access
    
    
• Creating a plain Sesame2 project (no OWLIM)

1. 1. select “in memory/persistent”
   2. You can leave the other parameter values (1000, true, true) as they are
   3. Continue with the instructions as in “Running the system”

• Click [Import button] to import data.
• This process may take some time depending on the size of the 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)
