Re: [IPT] IPT-lite in Google code?

Hi Hanna, The DEMO site for IPT LITE is at: http://ipt-lite.gbif.org/index.html There is an OLD compile of the IPT LITE from the Google Code site (September 15, 2009) http://gbif-providertoolkit.googlecode.com/files/gbif-ipt-lite-1.0RC2.war I did not test this LITE version myself. But I expect that this LITE version is much less demanding regarding memory. The LITE will only provide a tool to generate the Darwin Core text Archive (DwC-A) and not provide the visual display of your datasets. See also the Google Code Issue 254: Revive IPT lite to be build via war overlay based on the regular IPT. "IPT lite is a stripped down IPT that does share 99% of IPT code base, but removes the entire portal, webservices and even the database storing dwc records. It is only meant for creating dwc archives as efficient as possible and authoring metadata about the resource. Good for large datasets and a hosting environment." http://code.google.com/p/gbif-providertoolkit/issues/detail?id=254 I believe that you will build a recent version of the IPT LITE together with the standard IPT if you download the source code (SVN checkout) and build this with for example Maven. BUT it is probably much easier for you to download the GBIF IPT LITE 1.0 RC2 to start testing this version of the toolkit... The Darwin Core Google Code project includes a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A) reader (dwc-archive-1.0.jar, dwca-reader-1.0.jar). I am not sure how (if at all) these relates to the IPT LITE. But perhaps worthwhile to test as well? http://code.google.com/p/darwincore/downloads/list I have no hands-on experiences with the LITE version so I copy my reply to the IPT mailing list to see if we can catch any remarks for others more experienced with this LITE version.

It was nice to meet you in Alikante! I’ll try to get some pics from the Castillo to the community site… You mentioned that you have commented how to make IPT Lite on the Google code platform. Can you guide me where to find that? I think our developers would love to try that out, since our Metacat installation is not proceeding and they need to get the metadata out in public somehow… Best wishes, Hanna ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hanna Koivula Data Manager Finnish Museum of Natural History 000014 Helsinki University http://www.fmnh.helsinki.fi/english/ tel. +358 50 4154850 ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Dear Friends from the IPT list, Thanks to Pedro Corrêa, André Quintela Bertuzzi, Bruno Vannucci and Paulo Pessoa from the University of São Paulo (Brazil) we have now available the set of 6 short presentations about the IPT available also in Portuguese! The presentations are available in the IPT resources page of the "GBIF IPT helpdesk and training experts" group of the GBIF Community Site. For those of you who are not members of the group, please consider creating an account in the GBIF Community Site and joining the group and give a hand in the deployment of the tool around the world ;-) http://community.gbif.org/pg/pages/view/3872/ So now Chinese, Dutch, English, French, Portuguese and Spanish are the languages in which these presentations are available! This is really impressive and I cannot but thank again to all of you who have collaborated in this! The person who initially offered to make the translation into German is quite busy at the moment, so if any other German speaker wants to collaborate translating some (or all) of the translations, please drop me a line!
