The ProCKSI respository can only be accessed by designated ''developers'' after having logged in.

Repository Overview

The most important sub-repository within the global ''procksi'' repository are: * '''ProCKSI'''br
Current main project, which will be split into the following sub-projects. * '''ProCKSI-Database''' (''to be discussed'')br
Will contain the design for the ProCKSI and Protein Multiverse database, and an SQL dump of the database structure including fixed data such as definition for methods, measures, etc. Additionally, it contains the code that should be used by all associated projects in order to access/ammend the database * '''ProCKSI-Server''' (''to be discussed'')br
Will contain the specifications and code for the management, front-end and framework components. It will use the ProCKSI-Database and the ProCKSI-Standalone components.br
Other suggestions for labeling this sub-repository: ProCKSI, ProCKSI-Framework * '''ProCKSI-Standalone''' (''to be discussed'')br
Will contain the I/O specifications and the code for the ProCKSI and Protein Multiverse standalone "core" application, which can be used separately from the Database and the Server components.
Other suggestions for labeling this sub-repository: ProcksiLite, ProCKSI-Local, ProCKSI-Engine, ProCKSI-Core * '''ProtCompVNS'''br
Contains the Maximum Contact Map Overlap code using a Variable Neigbourhood Search * '''Max-CMO_tools'''br
Contains tools for the visualisation of contact maps, overlaps, ... * '''!HyperTree'''br
Contains the code for the visualisation of Hyperbolic Trees

Each of these sub-repository for code development contains a ''trunk'', ''tags'', ''branches'' sub-directory. Please make yourself familiar with the internal SVN repository structure and how to commit code in this document.

Further sub-repositories are: * '''Corporate Design'''br
Contains all ProCKSI related pictures, documents, ... providing a corporate design * '''Datasets'''br
Contains standard datasets for protein structure comparison * '''Externals'''br
Contains third-party software, e.g. similarity comparison methods, OS and cluster software, ... * '''Hardware'''br
Contains hardware specifications, invoices, ... * '''Publications'''br
Contains all internal publications (papers, posters, presentations, ...) for protein structure comparison in their original format (PPT, DOC, ...), but packed and compressed in TGZ-format.br
Please make yourself familiar with the [wiki:PublicationsPolicy Publications Policy] before commiting publications to the repository.
