20. July 2002Project presentation REGNET 20 Topic Map Generator The Topic Map Generator Tool is based on the TM4J, which is a Topic Map engine for Java. Topic Map Generator Tool is a topic map "engine, which processes files conforming to the XML Topic Maps (XTM) specification and stores them either in memory or in a persistent store, providing access via a Java API. In REGNET the persistent store is Xindice (a native XML database).

22. July 2002Project presentation REGNET 22 Topic Map 3D Navigation The current version of this tool operates as follows: Load a Topic Map or XML file Then the file is parsed and if errors appear the tool will ignore the errors and generate a 2D tree The tool also displays statistics of the Topic Map file (number of topics, associations etc.) Then the topic map file can be generated in VRML and saved in the desired directory. Once the VRML file is generated then the result can be browsed using a VRML plug-in.

25. July 2002Project presentation REGNET 25 E-Business Presentation side present all the necessary text and graphical information to the user (customer). The PHP methods and the standard features of the browsers implement these functions. This subsystem also provide the customer all the necessary interactive input forms and interactive interfaces. Distributed Search & Retrieval Based on Z39.50 protocol This component includes YAZ client, which prepares and send the RPN query to the remote databases. It also receives the responses from them and sends them to presentation side.

26. July 2002Project presentation REGNET 26 E-Business (2) Core System It allows user to create the orders, to change them, choose the method and accomplish the payment for the products. It is strongly related with a mechanism of the credit card validation. It is also necessary to appoint that all the input information about the credit card details should be done in a protected way, using the SSL protocol. Product Catalogues – Eshop It contains the database, which stores the information of the product, such as information of its name, price, description etc.
