CakePHP Website to Process NIST TRC ThermoML Data
This CakePHP website was created to ingest thermophysical property data in the IUPAC ThermoML XML format from https://trc.nist.gov/ThermoML.html into a relational database (MySQL). The intent was to create a REST website where the data could be searched, viewed and download in other formats, including SciData JSON-LD.
Subsequently, the code was updated to convert the script that created the SciData JSON-LD to use a library class (a model file in CakePHP) that could be used for other projects.
Information about aspects of the code can be found in each of the folders. Additionally, a paper will be published on this code outlining the overall process and the datasets produced. The datasets can be found at the following locations (papers in the works):
In addition, the intention is to develop two new versions of this repo based on updating the code
- A CakePHP v4 version (this site is built with CakePHP v2 which is now end of life)
- A Python/Django version
