3.0 - Ricgraph

This release is for the first version of the Pilot project Open Ricgraph demo server. The following improvements have been made to Ricgraph.

Ricgraph general:

  • New Makefile targets for installing Certbot, Munin monitoring, and AWStats web server log analysis.
  • The file ricgraph.ini now has a parameter 'ricgraph_explorer_display_results_mode' that sets the default mode in which results are shown in Ricgraph Explorer.
  • Many small improvements.

Ricgraph Explorer:

  • Added robots.txt file to disallow harvesting of Ricgraph Explorer, and made it accessible via Nginx and Apache.
  • Some new refactoring of Ricgraph Explorer.

Harvest scripts:

  • Research Software Directory harvest: Clarified comments. Note that Ricgraph harvests organizations from persons in RSD, not from software in RSD (both is possible, the comments now explain this choice).
  • Pure harvest: Add (first) external organization to external authors. Removed text 'external author' from external authors.

Documentation:

  • Clarified and improved documentation.
  • Added sections how to update Ricgraph.
  • Update of the Ricgraph website.
  • Added HBO-ICT innovation project (fall 2025) and results (spring 2025).

Upgrading:

  • For any version, you will need to re-install Ricgraph. It is advisable to remove all of your existing files and directories, except for ricgraph.ini, before you re-install Ricgraph. Recreate your Ricgraph initialization file from ricgraph.ini-sample, and use the values from your previous ricgraph.ini version. Read more about the Ricgraph initialization file.
  • You will need to reharvest your sources.
