TreeBASE
TreeBASE, the community repository of published estimates of phylogeny, is an initiative whose
history dates back to the early 1990s. In its current iteration it is an open source
project implemented in Java 1.8 and released under a BSD license. This is its source code repository. It is organized in a number of
subprojects, which are described below. For more high-level documentation about TreeBASE, visit the
wiki.
Essential subprojects for TreeBASE v.2
The following are subprojects that jointly comprise the TreeBASE v.2 MVC application. The application is organized as a data Model
that persists on a PostgreSQL database via Hibernate, multiple Views (namely, a JSP/HTML GUI, an oai-pmh web service interface, a
tree viewing and editing applet, and a news feed), linked together by a Controller API in Java 1.8, which uses the Spring framework.
- treebase-core - Java 1.8 ORM API to access the underlying relational database based on PostgreSQL
- treebase-phylowidget - Java 1.8 browser applet for tree viewing and editing
- treebase-web - Java 1.8 MVC web application for the JSP/HTML GUI
- treebase_feed - PHP feed with newest studies, to embed in the JSP/HTML GUI
- oai-pmh_data_provider - additional Java 1.8 MVC functionality for OAI-PMH interface
