Important

THIS REPOSITORY IS DEPRECATED.

Development on this webservice has been moved to: https://github.com/identifiers-org/monorepo. This new repository targets easier code integration and facilitated CI/CD pipeline. For any concerns, please contact us or open a issue at our main issue board.

Overview

This Web Service implements identifiers.org Compact ID metadata extraction API for programmatic access to metadata resolution services.

Running the Metadata Resolution Service

The only requirement for running the resolution service is having a working installation of Docker.

Although this service is part of identifiers.org Satellite Deployments, it can be run in standalone mode, i.e. if you just want to bring this service up for programmatic access to metadata information associated with a given Compact ID.

Download, from this repo, the file named docker-compose-standalone.yml, and issue the following command:

docker-compose -f docker-compose-standalone.yml up -d

This will launch the Metadata Resolution Service, if you'd like to stop it, just run:

docker-compose -f docker-compose-standalone.yml down

How to query the Metadata Resolution Service

There is a Java based library, libapi, that implements a client for this Web Service.

Please, refer to its documentation on how to connect to identifiers.org Web Services.

Contributions

Documentation for developers will be coming soon, through the repository Wiki.
