We are pleased to announce Skosmos 1.4, a tool for publishing SKOS
vocabularies for both human and machine consumption. It has been a while
since Skosmos releases have been announced here on public-esw-thes (the
previous one was 1.0), so I decided to forward the release announcement.
Skosmos is an open source web-based SKOS browser being developed at the
National Library of Finland. It can be used by e.g. libraries and
archives as a publishing platform for controlled vocabularies such as
thesauri, lightweight ontologies, classifications and authority files.
The user interface is multilingual. In Skosmos 1.4 it is available in
ten languages thanks to contributions from the user community.
The Finnish national thesaurus and ontology service Finto.fi is built
using Skosmos. Finto is used by indexers at the National Library and
other libraries, as well as other organizations including the Finnish
Broadcasting Company YLE and many museums. It is also used to support
vocabulary development processes. Elsewhere, Skosmos is used among
others at FAO (UN), Rhineland-Palatinate spatial data initiative, ZBW,
hbz, Oslo University Library, University of Tor Vergata and University
of Vienna.
A website presenting Skosmos is at skosmos.org <http://skosmos.org/>.
There is also a skosmos-users
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21forum/skosmos-users> forum on
Google Groups which interested people are invited to join.
Best regards and happy holidays,
Osma

Subject: ANN: Skosmos 1.4 released

Skosmos 1.4 has been released!
This release brings support for new jena-text features in Jena 3 (Fuseki
1.3.x/2.3.x). Thanks to these, text search functions and the
alphabetical index are now 10-80% faster depending on the situation, and
the search result pages now avoid listing the same concept twice even if
it was matched via several labels. There is experimental support for
using alternative text analyzers
<https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/wiki/TextAnalysisConfiguration>
which can be used to enable search that targets individual words and/or
ignores accents and other diacritics. A new tab showing most recently
added concepts is also provided. A Chinese translation was contributed
by the community and all other translations have also been updated.
Translation updates:
* New Chinese translation by FAO
* Updated French translation by Thomas Francart
* Updated German translation by Joachim Neubert
* Updated Italian translation by Armando Stellato
* Updated Norwegian Bokmål and Nynorsk translations by Dan Michael O.
Heggø
* Updated Spanish translation by Karna Wegner
Usability improvements:
* #140 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/140>, #358
<https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/358> New tab listing
recently added concepts, based on dct:created timestamps on concepts.
* #53 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/53> Search result
pages no longer show the same concept multiple times when it is
matched via different labels. The REST API search methods now have a
|unique| parameter that controls this behavior (default is off).
* #332 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/332> Option to use
a dropdown list instead of links for language selection. This is
controlled by the UI_LANGUAGE_DROPDOWN setting in config.inc.
* #335 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/335> Show also the
number of concept groups in the counts on the vocabulary front page.
* #344 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/344> Show concept
group notation codes in the "belongs to group" section on concept pages.
* #346 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/346> Vocabulary
selection dropdown is now sorted alphabetically.
* added Skosmos favicon Skosmos favicon
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/master/favicon.ico>
(can be overridden
<https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/wiki/Configuration#custom-faviconico>)
Technical improvements:
* #273 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/273>, #383
<https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/383> Uses new Jena
3.0.0+ features in the jena-text index. This means faster searches
and also a faster alphabetical index (can be 80% faster when there
are many languages).
* #313 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/313> Experimental
support for jena-text alternative text analyzers
<https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/wiki/TextAnalysisConfiguration>
* #372 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/372> Optimized
handling of concept property information. Speeds up especially
global search.
* #339 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/339> Script to
easily synchronize translation updates from Transifex to Skosmos code.
Bug fixes:
* #347 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/347> Opening groups
failed when labels are not available in the right language
* #348 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/348> ConceptGroup
page shows empty Hierarchy tab
* #349 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/349> Global search
fails to show more than 20 results
* #350 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/350> Search
incorrectly targets the default SPARQL endpoint when there are
multiple results from the same vocabulary
* #354 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/354>
ThesaurusArrays not shown
* #355 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/355> Language

<https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/390> Autocomplete shows
URI instead of label for some concept types, groups and arrays
* #377 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/377> Missing groups
in group view
* #378 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/378> Feedback form
not sent
* #380 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/380> Feedback
message shows referer instead of IP address
* #381 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/381> Selecting a
concept from autocomplete loses the content language
* #385 <https://github.com/NatLibFi/Skosmos/issues/385> Duplicated
