Main Page

This is the generic technical wiki (zWiki) providing documentation for the software and related systems associated with the various OSF open source software projects. OSF projects are all parts of the open semantic framework (OSF). Both the zWiki and OSF are provided courtesy of Structured Dynamics, their lead developer, and SD's various sponsors.

The open semantic framework is comprised of:


 * OSF-Drupal - connecting modules to enable structWSF and sComponents to be hosted/embedded in Drupal
 * structWSF - platform-independent suite of more than 20 RESTful Web services, organized for managing structured data datasets
 * Semantic Components - JavaScript or Flex semantic components (widgets) for visualizing and manipulating structured data
 * irON - instance record Object Notation for conveying XML, JSON or spreadsheets (CSV) in RDF-ready form.

This zWiki content is a baseline "starter kit" of documentation related to those projects and their contexts. It is an open source knowledge base in its own right. You are free to download and use this content at will, solely by providing attribution.

At present, there are Special:Statistics articles under Special:Statistics categories on this wiki. Another Special:Statistics images support this content.

If you would like to be a zWiki contributor, or if you have suggestions or requests regarding this site's content, please contact zwiki at openstructs dot org. Thanks and enjoy!
