Dear VocBenchers (and ShowVoccers :-) )

 

Version 10.2 of VocBench and 1.2 of ShowVoc have been released today, and are available here: http://vocbench.uniroma2.it/downloads/

This is a minor release with some little addenda to the applications, and mostly a relevant (and final) fix for the log4j vulnerability, obtained by updating to the most recent version of the Karaf container, featuring a log4j update.

 

The recommended version of GDB is still the same, 9.8.1, for which a direct download link, as of courtesy of Ontotext, is provided on this page:

http://vocbench.uniroma2.it/doc/sys/#separate_triple_store

 

It is also possible to more recent versions (e.g. >= 9.9) of GraphDB, but a plugin must be deployed within the GraphDB installation in order to benefit from the lucene-powered search:

https://bitbucket.org/art-uniroma2/semantic-turkey/downloads/lucene-fts-plugin.zip

Just unzip the content of the archive within the “lib/plugins” directory of GraphDB.

An alert msg will in any case inform the user if this plugin is missing from GDB.

 

In case of an external RDF4J server, using the same as for the client is always the best choice, so: 3.7.3

 

Release notes are reported below for the two applications and for their common service backend.
