Essential AM Repository
Posted: 08 Mar 2015, 17:16
Hello,
At the risk of appearing a bit dense...
I have successfully installed for both standalone (laptop) and server multi-user (Windows 2008), with various fixes (as found on this forum) applied, to get the Essential Viewer and the Protege server working, and also managed to convert a file project ('newspaper', as it happens) to a database (mysql).
But, I just can't make sense of the whole metaproject / Essential AM Repository project / essential baseline project thing. Neither the mult-user install instructions nor the several forum postings related to these have managed to dispel the fog.
I had the problem of the 'Essential AM Repository' project not being created within the metaproject, by the multi-user install. I tried re-installing, selecting just the repository, but this still installed a version of the metaproject with only the newspaper, pizza etc. projects (x7) under PolicyControlledObject, with no Essential AM Repository project(s) (x2 incl. annotation variant).
I didn't want to check the 'server' box, because it's not clear to me what that would actually install; I didn't want to blitz all my hard work in getting the server to actually run and talk to mysql (should I have?). And, anyway, 'repository' seemed like the logical choice.
I then downloaded the version of the metaproject linked-to from a thread in the forum, but while this *does* feature the Essential AM Repository projects, within the metaproject, it does not feature the 7 or so examples, nor the essential baseline project.
I have the metaproject and the essential baseline project files stored within the folder pointed to by 'set METAPROJECT ...' in the run_protege_server.bat.
I notice that the essential baseline project is referred to in the 'Location' field(s) of the Essential AM Repository project(s).
I think I get the general idea, but I'm confused about which project is part of which; and the relationships between the E. AM Repository project, the essential baseline project, and the metaproject; is the essential baseline project actually the 'same' as the 'Essential AM Project'? If so, then should it or should it not itself appear as a project under the metaproject's PolicyControlledObjects?
Also, I'm not sure how a project becomes referenced / part of the metaproject, as simply opening it (and saving) does not cause it to appear under PolicyControlledObjects; how does one 'introduce' a project to the metaproject / repository? And why is a repository of projects (apparently) itself also a 'project'?
So, can you please explain?
I want to get this straight before I convert the Essential AM Repository project (and ...?) to a database.
TIA
