Release MyCoRe Version 2.0
The MyCoRe version 2.0 consists of two parts:
-
MyCoRe:
The MyCoRe kernel contains a number of components which provide basic digital archive functions. It's the same for all local applications and it supports various backends. Lucene is used as search engine. In the standard configuration, MyCoRe uses Hibernate to access suitably supported database systems such as HSQLDB, MySQL;,PostgreSQL and IBM DB2. For catalog functions (storing metadata, ACLs and administrative information) the freely available Lucene + open source DBS combination can be used alongside the IBM Content Manager v8.x + DB2. -
DocPortal application:
DocPortal is an example of a Dublin Core document server. The application implements an archive for digital multimedial documents and can be deployed as a publications server. It utilises a Dublin Core data model. Click here to see DocPortal in action. Please note that this is only a demonstration. It is intended to give you an idea of the kind of application you can put together with MyCoRe. No way is it a complete production ready system!
Other MyCoRe based applications:
There are many MyCoRe based applications which also use open source products but which are not a part of this distribution. You can find a list of applications here.
Documentation and Getting Started
If you would like to test MyCoRe or the sample application DocPortal, or if you just want to find out what MyCoRe actually is, then we recommend the Binary distribution. But if you are interested in application development and further work, then we suggest starting out with the MyCoRe documentation (german).
You can read the documentation online.
Unfortunately, at the moment the documentation is available only in in German, an English version is planned.
Option 1: Check out MyCoRe from our Subversion Repository
We recommend downloading MyCoRe and the sample application DocPortal directly from our Subversion Repository. You will need
a freely available Subversion Client, in order to access the
Repository in anonymous read-only mode:
svn checkout http://www.mycore.de/svn/mycore/branches/release_2_0_fixes/ mycore svn checkout http://www.mycore.de/svn/docportal/branches/release_2_0_fixes/ docportal
Option 2: Download MyCoRe tar.gz or zip archive
can be downloaded (from Sourceforge) and then
extracted to local directory on Linux, Sun Solaris or IBM AIX systems. For the extraction we recommend using long filenames
GNU tar.
Information: The SNAPSHOT_20090121 equates to the release candidate for MyCoRe 2.0.
