ANN: VocBench 10.1 released

Dear all



*** apologies for cross-posting ***



Version 10.1 of VocBench has been released today, and is available here: http://vocbench.uniroma2.it/downloads/

This is a cumulative release including all new features introduced for version 10.0, which has never been released to the community and went some more thorough testing that led, eventually, to a quick new 10.1 update.



Stay tuned for another communication, following this one, introducing the ShowVoc web application: the VocBench companion for publication and browsing of Semantic Web resources!

Migration from a previous version of the system

As usual, for people migrating from a previous version of VocBench 3, it suffices to:

  *   keep the "SemanticTurkeyData" directory (you might want to make a backup just in case anything happens, even though the system has been extensively tested for migration)
     *   consider that some migration routines will make the data directory not entirely compatible with prior versions of VocBench
  *   remove the previous distribution (directory semanticturkey-x.y) and replace it with the new one inside the vocbench3-10.1.0-full.zip archive
  *   if using an external triple store:
     *   replace the old st-changetracking-sail-x.y.jar file located in the lib directory of the triple store with the new one: st-changetracking-sail-10.1.jar, that can be extracted from:
/semanticturkey-10.1/system/it/uniroma2/art/semanticturkey/st-changetracking-sail/10.1
     *   replace the old st-trivial-inference-sail-x.y.jar file located in the lib directory of the triple store with the new one: st-trivial-inference-sail-10.1.jar, that can be extracted from:
/semanticturkey-10.1/system/it/uniroma2/art/semanticturkey/st-trivial-inference-sail/10.1
