Check out and build the source code

$ git clone git://gitorious.org/discovered/repo.git discovered
$ cd discovered
$ ant

Add a curator and a feed

DiscoverEd uses feeds to help identify resources to crawl. Feeds are provided by curators, who can also provide metadata about resources.

$ ./bin/feeds addcurator "ND OCW" http://ocw.nd.edu/ 
$ ./bin/feeds addfeed rss http://ocw.nd.edu/front-page/courselist/rss http://ocw.nd.edu/

Aggregate and crawl resources

$ ./bin/feeds aggregate
$ mkdir seed
$ ./bin/feeds seed > seed/urls.txt
$ ant -f dedbuild.xml crawl

Run the web application

Edit conf/nutch-site.xml to point to your crawl location.

$ ant war
$ [copy the war file to your J2EE container]

Switching to MySQL

By default, DiscoverEd (at least on the next branch) uses an on-disk database called Derby for storing resource metadata. You should use a different database, like MySQL, in production.

To do that, edit conf/discovered.xml and update the following sections as appropriate:

<property>
  <name>rdfstore.db.driver</name>
  <value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</value>
</property>

<property>
  <name>rdfstore.db.url</name>
  <value>jdbc:mysql://localhost/discovered?autoReconnect=true</value>
</property>

<property>
  <name>rdfstore.db.user</name>
  <value>discovered</value>
</property>

<property>
  <name>rdfstore.db.password</name>
  <value></value>
</property>
