The Metadata Visualisation Project

What is it?

A distributed, XML-based knowledge management platform with an easy interface. And now with a use case: report generation from distributed XML resources.

Where can I get it?

The development version (beta, with a primitive installation program) is available either below or in the CVS tree: cvs co openmdvp.

How do I install it?

Only the use case

You do not need Java, just Python. Any Python 2.3 or later should be OK. See the use case download link below.

The platform

The platform requires Java. Install a Java Developer's Kit (JDK). Download openmdvp.jar below and SAVE IT AS openmdvp.jar. Then either double click (2.0 beta) or read and follow the installation notes (developers' versions).
