GraMToR
Project
This page offers information about the current status of the project GraMToR. GraMToR is a shortcut for "Graphical Modeling Tool for RDF" and is an application that has been implemented within my first diploma thesis in the business informatics course of studies and offers graphical editing capabilities for models of the Ressource Description Framework (RDF). I have written the diploma thesis at the chair business informatics and software technique at the university Universität GH Essen . The link Documentation leads to the available documentation about the RDF editor. The development status page shows information about the current status of the project and about the fixed and found bugs of the application. There one can also find recommendations to extend the application. The application code as well as previous version of the RDF editor can be downloaded using the central download page . The development of this project is discontinued. Links to further readings about the Resource Description Framework can be found on the literature page .
Documentation
A description of the class RDF and a guide for the GraMToR are available. In case of questions or bugs do not hesitate to send me a message .
Status
Thee following table summarizes known bugs of the RDF editor and their status:
| Known bugs |
Status |
|---|---|
| Nodes with content that has more than two lines are not saved correctly. Error messages are displayed if a document like this is loaded. | fixed |
| Changes of the content just effect the graphical representation but are not stored in memory. | fixed |
| The namespace input mask misses a cancel button. | in progress |
| When storing as .rdf property elements get an about= instead of a ressource= attribute. | fixed |
| When copying text into input fields of newly created nodes the shell is displayed to change the content. | fixed |
| If the node content is shortened in the display there should appear three dorts. | fixed |
| The arrow labels should be centered. | in progress |
| If the predicate node of reification is changed the property (in case of facts) of the corresponding statement has to be changed too in some cases. | fixed |
| If the content of an arrow changes it must be checked if the namespace already exists. | fixed |
| If a node with a popup is opened and closed on level 1 this child can not be reopened again. | fixed |
| .fmr files are not displayed correctly after opening them. | in progress |
| If a file is not closed using the close button and a new file is opened the display is corrupt. | fixed |
The following list shows suggestions and wished functionality:
- There does not exist any possibility to deal with distributive referents.
- This first orientation of a "values" should be changed to the 6 p.m. position.
