IntroductionThis is the open source code-base of the EU funded project "Interactive Knowledge Stack". The code stored here will initially only contain certain component prototypes that should be under the "sandbox". These will be the "low hanging fruits" that we can demonstrate, discuss, and integrate feedback. This is our agile method toward achieving the IKS stack. The IKS project will be releasing software in several steps. We have the IKS Alpha, IKS 3.0, IKS 4.0, 5.3 and the latest IKS 6.0 release. See our release roadmap. IKS 6.0The IKS 6.0 release is the first IKS release covering the whole IKS stack. With this release we provide implementations for each conceptual aspect of the IKS reference architecture as described our release documentation which is part of the release bundle. Release date is March 16, 2012. The IKS 6.0 release includes a VIE 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT version and Apache Stanbol 0.9.0-incubating RC3. Since there is no official Apache Stanbol release yet, the IKS project provides this release of Apache Stanbol for early adoption. As soon as there exists official releases of Apache Stanbol the IKS project will support these. The used Apache Stanbol 0.9.0-incubating RC3 release is based on Subversion revision 1301611 (from March 16, 2012) of http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/stanbol/tags/0.9.0-incubating.

Table of Released Apache Stanbol Components
Download and Launch IKS 6.0The IKS 6.0 release package can be downloaded here. After downloading the release package unpack it and read the README-Release.md file for further instructions. To start IKS 6.0 you need Java version 1.6. You have to execute the following command: java -Xmx1024m -jar iks-6.0-launcher.jar Then open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 and you will see the IKS start page with links to documentation and the packaged components. IKS 5The IKS 5.x releases were preparation releases on our way to a final IKS reference implementation. For reference, you can still download the IKS 5.3 release. Download and Launch IKS 5.3The IKS source code of 5.3 can be downloaded via SVN from the /iks-ri/branches/iks-5.3 branch. For sources of Apache Stanbol visit the project website. The IKS 5.3 release package can be downloaded here. After downloading the release package unpack it and read the README-Release.md file for further instructions. To start IKS 5.3 you need Java version 1.6. IKS 4.0The IKS 4.0 is a SNAPSHOT release of Apache Stanbol which is an incubating project at the Apache Software Foundation. The project was started by members of the IKS consortium and is on its way to do first stable release soon. Until then the IKS provides this SNAPSHOT release which contains all major components necessary for a semantic enhanced CMS.

The IKS source code of 4.0 can be downloaded via SVN from the /iks-ri/branches/iks-4.0 branch. For sources of Apache Stanbol visit the project website. The IKS 4.0 standalone launcher can be downloaded here. To start IKS 4.0 you need Java version 1.6. Just download the launcher JAR to a folder X on your disk. Then open a command shell at X and type: java -jar iks-4.0-launcher.jar On some systems it may even work if you just double click the JAR file. After starting IKS 4.0 point your web browser to http://localhost:8080. You should see the following screen. Have fun! IKS 3.0With the start of 3.0 development some of the components developed within the IKS project have moved to the Apache Stanbol project. We are proud to be accepted as an Apache Incubator project under the new name "Apache Stanbol". The following components have moved to Stanbol and are removed from the IKS sandbox repository.
As a consequence the upcoming IKS has now a dependency to Apache Stanbol and reuse the components developed there. The source code of 3.0 can be downloaded via SVN from the /iks-ri/branches/iks-3.0 branch. The IKS RI 3.0 release can be downloaded here. It consists of
IKS AlphaIKS Alpha is a first release with the focus on some technical core components which will be useful and needed by an IKS. These components are:
The architecture of IKS Alpha and its components is visualized in this picture in SVG or PNG format. Please check out the alpha version of IKS from SVN branch /iks-ri/branches/alpha and see the README. You can create your IKS Alpha standalone version by building it from this branch but note that we do not plan for any maintenance of this branch! In the meantime the development goes on with IKS Beta. Online InstancesWe have running instance of IKS software on the following locations.
FISEThe main visible component of IKS Alpha is the "Furtwangen IKS Semantic Engine", called "FISE". With FISE you get a framework for semantic enhancement engines which let you annotate a given piece of content with meta-data like persons, places, etc. More details how to build and run FISE can be found here. DocumentationThe main documentation of this project can be found in our Wiki at http://wiki.iks-project.eu/. |
