The Open PHACTS VoID editor v2 is developed and maintained by Lefteris Tatakis⁠, as a final year undergraduate project at the University of Manchester, UK. This project is supervised by Prof Carole Goble and has been developed within the context of the Open PHACTS⁠ project and aims to help dataset publishers to create a valid, according to the Open PHACTS specification⁠, VoID description for deployment with their dataset.The code was last updated on May 2016 . The code for the Open PHACTS editor is available from ⁠https://github.com/openphacts/Void-Editor2⁠. In case you have a feature request or want to file a bug, please raise a GitHub issue.

Features:

• Allows users to view there progress so far - with "under the hood"

⁠Linkset Creator

An extension of the VoID Editor to allow the creation of descriptions of the links between two datasets.

Features:

• Create VoID according to OPS specs⁠
• Connects to ORCID⁠ to get information about dataset owner
• Selecting the source and target datasets of the Linkset
• Exports VoID
• Allows users to view there progress so far - with "under the hood"

#Installation

The VoID Editor and Linkset Editor require a servlet engine such as tomcat server⁠ to be running on your machine. We have tested the editors with Tomcat 7 running on CentOS.

The files can be built using maven⁠ and issuing the command from the voidEditor directory.

mvn clean package -DskipTests

The resulting war file, in the target directory, can be deployed on your servlet engine in the usual way.

##Configuration

The name of the war file will determine is deployment location, i.e. http://localhost:8080/name-of-war-file. If you change this value, then you need to edit the URLPreface variable in voidEditor/src/main/webapp/js/datasets/services.js.
