Open Mind is repository for scientific research. It stores objects and relations, both of which can have attributes. Attributes and relations can have rules, that may be evaluated by a client using Open Mind.

Open Mind is designed to allow for schema definitions and changes from the client on the fly. 
Open Mind is open source, and comes with absolutely no warranties. Please see licence.txt


Build
----
Build OpenMind: ant clean, ant deploy

Setup (deprecated!)
-----
1.) Create a folder "openmind" in place of your choice. We will refer to this folder as the base directory.
2.) Create a folder "lib" in the base directory. We will call this the library folder.
3.) Copy openmind.jar, bindings.properties, and pm.properties into the library folder.
4.) Start a terminal and move to the base directory.
5.) To start openmind you need Java 1.5 to be installed. 
Open Mind can handle some Java system properties:
omdir=./ sets the working folder to the current folder, but that could be something else of cause. The current folder is the default value is been used if omdir is not set.
omlib=lib sets the library folder to something of your choice. Here "lib" is the default value.
6.) Example, starting a function test:
java -Domdir=./ -Domlib=lib -classpath ./lib/openmind.jar utl.test.Function api.demo.APITest /clear /meta /data /vm /vd
