The website developed by the xTeam allows users to easily and efficiently search the catalog of courses offered by the Harvard University Faculty of Arts & Sciences (FAS). This report presents an overview of how the website was developed, including information on the website’s browse and search features, its structure and design, as well as the various XML technologies employed by its developers. In addition to a fullyfeatured HTML platform, the site also includes content in Mobile and PDF formats. The Bootstrap framework was used to create a common layout and design for each page and was also employed to achieve a mobileready responsive design. The application was built using eXistdb, an opensource, native XML database. To deploy the application:
- Clone this repository
- Take the cscie18xteamfinalproject0.1. xar file located in the Build directory and upload to eXistdb using the Package Manager
- Go to http://localhost:8080/exist/apps/cscie18xteamfinalproject/index.html to access the website’s landing page.
- If the home page (or any other page) takes a long time to load (more than 30 seconds), make a small modification to the.xconf file located in the Data directory (for example, add a line of empty space) and save it. After this modification, indexing will be reapplied to the collection of XML source files and all pages should load significantly faster.
