4: \paragraph
5: On the ECHO server, the registration of new texts is implemented by
6: means of a cgi script, reg.cgi
7: (archimedes/web/cgi-bin/toc/admin/reg.cgi ). reg.cgi retrieves a
8: metadata file in MPIWG archive metadata format from the entered uri
9: (currently only local paths are supported ) and constructs from this
10: file a toc.cgi object file (see below) , which it writes to toc.cgi's
11: data section. [corpus???] It should be stressed that this is a
12: registration procedure developed for a particular implementation of
13: toc.cgi and not a part of the core application.
14:
15: \paragraph
16: reg.cgi takes two parameters, path and show. Path should give the
17: local path to the metadata file for the text that is being
18: registered. If ``show'' is set to 1, reg.cgi will return for
19: inspection the toc.cgi object file that it has built out of the
20: submitted metadata file.
21:
22: \paragraph{input metadata file}
23:
24: The input metadata file must have the following form
25:

50: \paragraph{plan of this section }
51:
52: \begin{enumerate}
53: \item An overview of toc.cgi architecture
54: \item A walk-through of typical cgi queries for toc.cgi
55: \item An index of cgi parameters and values with short descriptions of function
56: \end{enumerate}
57:
58: \paragraph{Overview of toc.cgi architecture}
59:
60: \subparagraph{}
61: toc.cgi is a perl script for displaying collections of xml texts and
62: linking them to related resources such as page-images, morphological
63: analysis, commentaries, dictionaries, etc. It implements generic methods
64: for resource-linking provided by a series of perl modules which are in
65: turn based mainly on generic open-source tools for xml manipulation and networking
66: written in C.
67:
68: \subparagraph{toc.cgi collections--Network transparency}
69: Each of the collections in toc.cgi is a ``virtual'' collection, that
70: is, a collection of links or uri's to resources that reside somewhere on an accessible
71: network, local or remote.
72:
73: \subparagraph{toc.cgi collections--remote resources}
74:
75: What is at the other end of the link is of no concern to toc.cgi, as
76: long as the resource referenced by the link meets minimal toc.cgi
77: requirements--how the resource is actually implemented and exposed is
78: a matter for the resource provider. The link may, for instance, point
79: directly to an xml text or it may point to a container which exposes a
80: particular xml view of an underlying resource that is perhaps not in
81: xml format at all.

143: \label{sec:indexing}
144:
145: \paragraph{Status quo ECHO}
146: Currently indexing is not implemented on the ECHO server.
147:
148: \paragraph{Plan ECHO}
149:
150: \begin{enumerate}
151: \item construct remote (141.14.236.86) index for each file at
152: per-change or daily intervals
153: \item store indices locally in
154: archimedes/data/db/PROJECT_NAME/CORPUS_NAME/WORK
155: \item 2 progs on server 1. cgi: indexer 2. backend da_remote
156: \item 2 progs on client 1. cgi: sendindex 2. backend getindex
157: \item indexing transaction handled by two cgi scripts, one on the
158: server the other on the client [this is the 1st implementation bcs
159: its easiest and there are no port issues, but probably it'd be
160: better to have a separate port].
161: \item client cgi: getindex -- sends 1. list of files to index
162: 2. uri to which xml notification of completion is to be sent. Upon
163: notification, activates backend prog that fetches and installs the
164: indices.
165: \item server cgi: indexer receives filelist and notification
166: addess. Activates backend that fetches files, indexes, places
167: completed indexes in a networked location, then sends xml
168: notification back to client.
169: \item single script provides backend access to indices
170: \item leave front-end issues like display, collection and navigation
171: to web-design programmers. Do only a sample for now.

185:
186: Automatically registers new texts as toc.cgi objects when they appear in
187: cvs. Automatically updates relevant morphological indices (slow!) each
188: time a cvs update occurs. This program is called by a hook in the cvs
189: ``loginfo'' configuration file.
