Proof-of-concept implementations of registry and catalogues

Proof-of-concept implementation of registry and catalogues - as part of the description of the system components necessary for an automated compliance checking of agricultural management standards.

Year of Publication2011

This document describes a proof of concept implementation of the services specified in Deliverable 4.2 (which specifies interfaces for a catalogue and rule service in order to discover and distribute these standards). Starting from the logical structure of the rules subsystem there is a brief description of the prototype implementations of these services and the technologies used for implementation. Implementations following the RESTful web services paradigm, i.e. that for using the services only the basic functionalities of HTTP like GET, POST, PUT and DELETE are necessary. Both implementations use similar technologies like the Ruby programming language, Ramaze web application framework and Sequel database toolkit for Ruby as well as existing software libraries (Nokogiri XML library) to a high extent. All of these software technologies are open source and free of charge. Both prototype implementations were completed early in 2010 and successfully used in the FutureFarm technical demonstration at Agritechnica.
