datasources

Conze.pt encyclopedic showcase of datasource options

The Conzept datasource system allows any REST or SPARQL API to be added to a Conzept system and render topics in the sidebar.

User benefits:

• Allow the user to choose which datasources to use.
• Have auto-completion work too (if wanted and possible).
• Make the API search results show in the same style and results-paging mechanics.
• Let the topic results be augmented from Wikidata (if a Qid is provided for the topic).

Developer benefits:

• Makes adding new datasources simple and quick, but still flexible in terms of the rendered output.

• Allow for adding extra “data sources” to a Conzept system, so other concepts - beyond Wikipedia and Wikidata - can also be presented.
• Any organization that wants to use the Conzept user-interface for showing and augmenting their own knowledge base.

1. Add the new datasource to the datasource-configuration file here: src/data/datasources.js
2. Add a new datasource directory (using the name of the datasource, eg. “gleif”)
3. Add a new JS file in that directory, implementing the required API access functions, example: src/datasources/gleif/index.js
