BARTOC.org

Relaunch of BARTOC.org web interface

This repository contains the new web interface of BARTOC.org, run by VZG.

Functional Requirements

• Keep all BARTOC URIs and most URLs
• Provide a nice web interface, possibly multilingual
• Use JSKOS API as backend
• Serve HTML, JSKOS, and RDF

Install

Requirements

Requires at least Node.js 18 and an instance of jskos-server to connect to. Additional dependencies are listed in package.json.

Install from sources

git clone https://github.com/gbv/bartoc.org.git
cd bartoc.org
npm ci

Docker

You can also set up BARTOC via Docker. Please refer to our Docker docs.

Setup

A setup script is provided in ./bin/setup.sh. It must be called with the path to your jskos-server installation, e.g.:

./bin/setup.sh ../jskos-server

Configuration

Basic configuration is located in config/config.default.json. Selected fields can be overridden in a local config/config.json. The latter should at least include a link to a JSKOS server instance, e.g.:

{
  "backend": {
    "provider": "ConceptApi",
    "api": "http://localhost:3000/"
  }
}

To be able to log in, add, and edit vocabularies, you need to setup and configure an instance of Login Server as well (example for local installation):

{
  "login": {
    "api": "localhost:3004/",
    "ssl": false
  }
}

jskos-server Configuration

To be able to use the full functionality of BARTOC, your jskos-server installation must allow concept schemes to be written via the API, e.g.:

{
  "schemes": {
    "read": {
      "auth": false
    },
    "create": {
      "auth": true
    },
    "update": {
      "auth": true,
      "crossUser": true
    }
  }
}

Via an array identities under schemes, you can limit which identity URIs can write vocabulary data.

Run for testing

npm run dev

The application is made available at http://localhost:3883/.

Publish

For maintainers only

Never work on the main branch directly. Always make changes on dev and then run the release script:

npm run release:patch # or minor or major

Deployment

The application is deployed at https://bartoc.org/.

Update an existing installation:

git pull
npm install
pm2 restart bartoc.org

Note that NODE_ENV has to be set to production, otherwise Vue files will be requested from the dev server. This is given when using npm run start.

Database dumps and statistics

To regularly update dumps, add a cronjob with command npm run dump update. Dumps will be placed in directory data/dumps and statistics are placed in data/reports. To compare two dump files run npm run dump diff.
