OMBase

| (Original) Description | The project is about creating a database for mathematical (i.e. OMDoc) documents that is accessible on the web via a RESTful interface. REST (Representational State Transfer) is a stateless client/server protocol that uses HTTP to perform actions (e.g. view or upload) on resources on a server. Any resource is available through an URL, and actions on resources are performed via the HTTP requests GET/POST/PUT/DELETE. The Wikipedia article may serve you as an introduction. The database itself is already there; it is the database used by SWiM. Currently, the database is closely tied to the wiki frontend, but to make the OMDoc data usable by other services, we would like to tear the database and the wiki frontend apart and equip the database with a RESTful frontend that can easily be accessed from external web services or client applications. |
