Last week: - almost finished porting Longwell trunk in synch with the latest Sesame API (out of their svn trunk)
- redesigned the longwell repository system to allow stackable sails and therefore allow Banach's operators to be plugged into Longwell - made sure that Longwell is really decoupled from the nature of the SAIL repositories (as it turns out, some parts of longwell assumed a native store implementation and couldn't work with an in-memory store or with a database-backed implementation) - integrated with the latest fresnel code that Ryan ported to the latest fresnel - upgraded longwell to java 1.5 (since sesame requires it and since it's now available on macosx by default it's reasonable for us to upgrade) so removed the dependency on retroweaver - upgraded to the latest jetty (6.1.1) and fixed a few issues with log duplications - started working on a longwell configuration for the art demo which is the one showing the use of OWL equivalences and currently works only with Longwell1. This will be the first showcase of Banach-enabled smooshing in the new Longwell. this week: - finish porting longwell and testing all the functionalities against the latest sesame, both memory and native stores. - finish the art demo using DWell-like fully-ajax-powered client-side include and a radically different look&feel to show the configurability of the current longwell plus good looking fresnel lenses for the art pieces. - implement the Banach's smoosher's query rewriting part to complete smooshing. - use Andrew's longwell bench + YourKit + FireBug to stress-test Longwell+Banach performance and profile hotspots on both client and server side. -- Stefano Mazzocchi Digital Libraries Research Group Research Scientist Massachusetts Institute of Technology E25-131, 77 Massachusetts Ave skype: stefanomazzocchi Cambridge, MA 02139-4307, USA email: stefanom at mit . edu ------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
