VocBench ontology management software (draft)

http://vocbench.uniroma2.it/

This can be run in docker using:

docker run --rm -i -t -p 1979:1979 matthiuebosquet/vocbench:latest

Vocbench will be available at http://localhost:1979

Initial impressions:

• Following the test drive instructions at http://vocbench.uniroma2.it/doc/user/test_drive.jsf was relatively straightforward though the images of the interface don't match exactly so you have to use your imagination a bit!
• The end result of following http://vocbench.uniroma2.it/doc/user/test_drive.jsf#creating_a_skos_project_for_managing_a_small_thesaurus was a copy of the FAO Land and Water vocabulary.

Concerns:

• Does not use the same software as the rest of the stack (eg tomcat and postgresql, though there is a war file so it can presumably be deployed in tomcat)
• Unclear what URL to use in Geonetwork, or if you have to export the ontology out and import it (see http://lig-coin.imag.fr/mica/doc/MICAUtils.html). In fact see FAQ on publishing at http://vocbench.uniroma2.it/doc/faq/
• access-control-same-origin errors when trying to access from geonetwork (though that can be surmounted by putting it behind the nginx proxy)
