Re: [tdwg-tapir] Release of "TapirBuilder" tool (now hosted on the TDWG site)
Thanks Lee and Renato, it was a very valuable experience for me and my team and we learnt a lot both technically and about the way to contribute to community projects. TAPIR is now embedded in a suite of tools and libraries which will improve its interoperability with other protocols and the development of extensions or modules based on the existing TAPIR providers. I must also say that the initial description of the awaited product that we received was pretty clear and has greatly facilitated the implementation of the tool.
Cheers, Franck

I would echo Renato's thanks to you Franck. Nice to see another TAPIR tool out there for people to use!
Many thanks

Dear Franck,
I would like to say thanks again (now in public) for all your work and also for TDWG's support.
These tools are an enormous help in creating XML files that are crucial for TAPIR (Javier was quite right about this when he suggested this kind of development during the last TAPIR meeting). No one deserves to edit XML by hand...
I'll find some time during the next weeks to update the network builder's guide making references to these new tools.
Many thanks, --
Renato

Dear all,
We are proud to announce the first release of the "TapirBuilder" tool. This application allows the user to define templates facilitating the configuration of new TAPIR networks, or networks that need to interact with TAPIR providers. It can -Display the nodes of a response structure in a treeview and produce a TAPIR output model which maps this response structure to the available conceptual schemas defined in a CNS document. -Produce templates for inventory and search queries from schemas and concepts defined in a CNS document.
You can access this tool on the TDWG website: http://tapir.tdwg.org/builder/ This URL also provides you with a default CNS document.
This tool owes a lot to the TapirLink provider and the TapirChirp libraries developed by Renato. I would also like to thank Renato for his huge technical contribution and its assistance when developing and testing the tool. Lee, Ricardo, Patricia Mergen for the initiative and implementation of the project which took place in ideal conditions and Bart Meganck for his help and insights when conceiving the tools.
Don´t hesitate to contact us for any suggestions for improvements.
Best regards,
Franck

Thanks Franck. The highlight of the Gordon and Betty Moore funded project was the joy of giving funds to great people for work that resulted in obvious benefit to a broad community. I wish I had more money to give away.
Best Wishes
