The Web Server
The Web server allows you to run a server from your machine. Some
functions of the GKB Editor will thus be accessible to remote users
through a regular HTML browser such as Netscape or Internet
Explorer. For them this will look like this example.
How to run the server
To start up the Web server, type (user::gws) to thelisp listener a
message like the following should appear:
CL-HTTP serving at (8000) - NO log.
[1999-08-05 10:28:09] HTTP service enabled for: http://host.domain.com:8000/
Should have cl-http running now
This indicates to potential what URL to type to access to the server.
Commands accessible via the Web
Te remote user will first be displayed a welcome screen and asked to
give a username. Once done, he will access to the main screen which is
composed of two frames.
In the upper frame, he can select a KB, browse either the taxononmic
aor the relationship view of the KB and choose between three actions
linked to the nodes of the browse graph: expand, contract and inspect.
The lower frame shows the current view of the tree. Each node of the
tree is mouse sensitive. A click on one of the nodes will trigger the
action selected in the upper frame. Expand and
Contract will change the aspect of the tree
accordingly. Inspect will display a table with the
values of the slots of the selected node. Objects within this table
are hyperlinked to recursively access to the objects in the KB.
