COBrA-CT Version Manager

The version manager allows users to upload and download ontologies from 
an ontology server.

Distribution
---------
 Windows and Linux users should download the latest tar file: cobra-ct-client-0.9.tar
 After expanding the archive (e.g. using WinZip or at the 
 commandline: tar -xvf cobra-ct-client-0.9.tar) the directory
./cobra-ct-client should contain this README plus:
 cobra-ct-client.exe	 :the Windows executable
 run_cobra-ct-client	 :script to run the version manager on Linux
 cobract.html		 :the help file for the version manager
 /lib/*		         :a directory of jar files and license information 
 LICENSE-COBrA-CT-VM.txt :license agreement

 The .exe file should not be moved from this directory.

OS X users should download the latest .dmg file: cobra-ct-client-0.9.dmg
After mounting the disk image, the COBrA CT Version Manager directory
should contain this README plus:
 COBrA-CT Version Manager  :the Mac OS X executable
 cobract.html		   :the help file for the version manager
 sign-up.html		   :an HTML form used to register with the database
 		     	  **currently this is not activated**
 LICENSE-COBrA-CT-VM.txt :license agreement

 OS X users can also run the Version Manager from the commandline
 by installing the .tar distribution.

Installation
---------
The version manager requires no further installation, however, it requires 
that Java 1.5 is installed, see: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/
OS X users should refer to: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301073
Typing java -version at the commandline should return:
java version "1.5.0_06" on OS X or
java version "1.5.0_04" on Linux

Licensing
-------
The Version Manager makes use of the OGSA-DAI framework http://www.ogsadai.org.uk/
and is distributed with the client toolkit jars. In turn, OGSA-DAI builds on
tomcat and numerous XML libraries. Licences for these tools can be found
in the /lib directory.
The Version Manager is distributed under the University of Edinburgh
open source licence.

Use
---
The Version Manager is started by double-clicking the icon, or
by the ./run_cobra-ct-client script. Once the tool has started, refer
to the Help function.
