OokOok is a temporal content and data management system, allowing sustainable, reproducible citation of scholarly works and resources.

The goal is to create a platform for dynamic scholarly projects based on descriptive technologies such as HTML5, CSS, RDF, and Open Annotation.

OokOok requires the following non-Perl services:

• PostgreSQL 9.2 or later
• ElasticSearch

To install the database schema, set the proper connection information in the ookook.conf file. Then, run the following commands to prepare and install the schema:

% ./script/ookook_migration.pl prepare
% ./script/ookook_migration.pl install

You will need to run the following insert statements to get the core taglib:

 INSERT INTO "library"
     (uuid, new_project_prefix, new_theme_prefix)
 VALUES
     ('ypUv1ZbV4RGsjb63Mj8b', 'r', 'r');

 INSERT INTO "library_edition"
     (library_id, name, description, created_on, closed_on, published_for)
 VALUES
     (1, 'Core', 'Core tags', now(), now(), tsrange(now()::timestamp,
      NULL::timestamp, '[)'));

Once the database is in place, you can run script/ookook_server.pl to test the application.

OokOok is under active development. We expect to develop the following features along the rough timeline as noted.
