Data Ontology

This project aims to provide a service to allow recording of all concepts that an organisation may want to collate. The eventual aim is to provide direct link back to databases and co-locate the data dictionary with the data.

This is a work in progress and far from being usable or complete. However any ideas or insights would be appreciated.

Running the service

Execute the following command:

java -jar data-ontology.jar server config.yml

This will execute two services: application and admin service on 8080 and 8081 respectively. The ports can be changed in the config.yml following the DropWizard template.

Configuration

The configuration file is a YAML formatted file. Server related properties are inherited from DropWizard. Graph related custom properties are defined under the graph section:

graph:
    graphName: test
    graphsonPath: test.graphson

datasource:
  - type: Postgresql
    connectionUrl:
    username:
    password:
