Open melodie 0.4 released

The fourth release of Open melodie is out on Sourceforge. One again, bug fixes, server side improvments (not much), and a lot of work on the client and its interface.

The client now exposes nearly all the item creation and indexation functionnalities. You can :
  • create archives ;
  • create corpuses in archives ;
  • create thesauruses, controled valued sets ;
  • create field types (all the defined kinds of field types are supported) ;
  • add field types to corpuses, to create indexation patterns ;
  • create items in corpuses and index them following the patterns for that corpus.
You can work on thesauruses and controled values sets :
  • create keywords or controled values ;
  • create parent / child relations between them.
There are stilll many things to expose in this interface, among them :
  • representation support (esp. for very hires images) ;
  • item and representation sets administration ;
  • profiles support.
The server already supports these functionnalities.

Another feature that has been added is the connection to Google spreadsheets document. Open melodie is able to massively import corpuses from Google spreadsheets. Expect to see this functionnality in the next release. In this version, there is only the very start of it : a session can acquire a Google token to access the user's spreadsheets.

The next version is scheduled to be released by the end of july.
