Hi, Is there any news regarding the state of development of ACIS as requested by Christian? I have not seen a patch to the ACIS software. Will Ivan's work be a fork of ACIS? I thought we had agreed to work on a test installation of the current ACIS that I would prepare. I had not completed but I was not far off the target, when I got snowed under by teaching. I can't spend much of any time on this now but I can try to find some time for this this week, because I have a little breather. It now looks that coming mid-january, I will be able to spend some serious time on ACIS. I will finish teaching an mid-March and then be free to work on ACIS and AuthorClaim until September next 2012.

Thomas & all, I have not started any significant development of new features yet. There were some minor changes and bug fixes, and I've done them on the live RAS system before or soon after the migration. Last week I've started working on integrating these changes back into the ACIS development. And most of that is done, just a few minor items left. I will soon be ready to share those patches with you, if you want. But they are based on a 2007 version of ACIS, and some of them you already have in your version. The obstacles to using the latest ACIS version that are unresolved, that we need to clarify are: - does it support Storable strings in the objects table, and the resources table (etc.) and in the RI db? - are the xslt templates compatible with the RAS phrases? - does it have any other changes that might turn out incompatible with the current RAS setup? You probably know the answer to the first of these questions, but the rest require careful examination and/or tests. Another thought I'm having is: do we really need the installation script and procedure in ACIS? My thinking now is that it is mostly superflous. We could work on ACIS code in the same files and directories as it is installed now, without the reshuffling that the install.sh does. Most of the work that bin/setup does can also be removed (with help of modules like FindBin, etc.). It would make developing easier. Publishing changes would be done via darcs repo directly, not via packaged versions. But that's a separate question, although related. -ivan On Mon, Oct 17, 2011 at 7:36 AM, Thomas Krichel <krichel@openlib.org> wrote:

Good news for me.

I want them. But I am not sure if I will be able to meaningful intergate them into the current version. I am very cut for time right now, but I can try to free a day for this. This will have to be this or next week.
The obstacles to using the latest ACIS version that are unresolved, that we need to clarify are:
- does it support Storable strings in the objects table, and the resources table (etc.) and in the RI db?
Yes. The change is that it uses one single serialization module for all. That module tries Storable as well.
- are the xslt templates compatible with the RAS phrases?
The AC templates are namespace aware. That implies that the phrases have to be put into the http://acis.openlib.org/ namespace. That's a one-minute job.
- does it have any other changes that might turn out incompatible with the current RAS setup?
When I did the conversion of the RAS presenter to the AC presenter, I did not convert the citaitions screens.
Another thought I'm having is: do we really need the installation script and procedure in ACIS? My thinking now is that it is mostly superflous.
Yes.

I still run setup, for the RI writing the configuraiton, I think this can't be done without the current setup, a ri restart does not do that (maybe it ought?, oh, no that o/s depenedent).
It would make developing easier. Publishing changes would be done via darcs repo directly, not via packaged versions.
But packaging colud still be done when we want to give people a copy of the software? Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel http://authorprofile.org/pkr1 skype: thomaskrichel

I've just noticed that the latest RePEc-Index does this: $res=&Common::Data::inflate_json($val); after reading the data from the db. The RAS database has all strings in Storable format. Does inflate_json() expect Storable strings on input?

sounds promising.

what do you mean by that?
I did not convert the citaitions screens.

I also hope it will go the other way. I am sure looking forward to have the ACIS paper claim page on RAS. I daily catch several people trying to refuse an item who end up accepting it. On Mon, 17 Oct 2011, Thomas Krichel wrote:

Well, we could have saved us a lot of work by installing the lastest verison directly. We could also have saved us the embarrassment of the disappearing citations because they don't appear in the later ACIS version because of the work I did updating AMF-Perl to modern Perl programming standards; without understanding how AMF-Perl does what it does, I hasten to add.
