SKOS-Play on Tomcat: where to place data?

[PeterF-PLUS]

Hi!

We are trying to visualize our RDF data using SKOS-play. Finally, we also managed to run it in Publish-Mode.
However, I don't know where to put the data (and in which form?). We are stuck on an empty "Select a Vocabulary".

Thanks,
Peter

Hi

What is Publish-Mode ?

However, I don't know where to put the data (and in which form?). We are stuck on an empty "Select a Vocabulary".

i don't understand. Any screenshot ? or more details ?
The form should be at localhost:8080/skos-play/upload or something similar

Hi!

Sorry - of course, Down below, I have included our configuration as well as a screen of our data folder and the result of skos-play.

With "publish-mode", i've meant the flag skosplay.mode.publishing=true. We would to use SKOS-play as a visualization of our data sets.

skosplay-application.properties
#!properties skosplay.thesaurus.directory=/Tomcat_mhdbdb-skos/webapps/skos-play/data skosplay.mode.publishing=true skosplay.application.title=MHDBDB - Mittelhochdeutsche Begriffsdatenbank

thesaurus-labels.properties
#!properties 01-vocbench=Vocbench Export

I would appreciate it greatly, if you could help us.

Ha OK I see. This functionality is not really used and maintained. I suggest that you try SKOSMOS instead (http://skosmos.org) to browse through your vocabularies.

I see that you have correctly "skosplay.thesaurus.directory" so this seems correct. You should see some logs when starting the server to indicate that SkosPlay correctly loaded your thesauri.

I see that you use VocBench as a backend and this combination VocBench + Skosmos + SKOS Play has been used in the past (http://blog.sparna.fr/2017/02/06/unesco-thesaurus-published-with-semantic-web-standards-and-open-source-software/). In that architecture, SKOS Play is used as a command-line tool to generate PDF files that are then offered for download, as a complement to the Skosmos browsing interface. The command-line utility of SKOS Play is documented at https://github.com/sparna-git/skos-play/wiki/HowTo-RunSKOSPlayCommandLine
