Software Credits

We are very grateful to developers of packages that have enabled us to build this site - and especially to those who have released their code under open source licences so allowing us to build on and customise their work. These include, but are not limited to:

  • The Apache Project - for Tomcat, Struts, Velocity and many other open source library packages. Also vital to the project management was the Apache Ant build tool.
  • CVS for software version control.
  • HSQLDB - a java only open source database included in distributions.
  • Simper - a simple persistence layer for web database access in java.
  • Our graph browser is based on the TGLB from TouchGraph.
  • MySQL - a fast database used on this server.
  • The Eclipse IDE - a powerful java development environment freely available from IBM
  • The LiveGraphics3D applet from Martin Kraus.
  • TeX and LaTeX - the programs by Donald Knuth and Leslie Lamport for mathematics capable typesetting.
  • TtM and tth for TeX to XHTML/MathML and TeX to HTML conversion from Ian Hutchinson. Mozilla and Design Science for good working implementations of MathML in the commonly used browsers.
  • UniReD - Windows unicode editor, which proved to be invaluable in sorting out many character encoding issues.
  • Java J2SDK from Sun
  • Perl - used heavily during development to provide quick solutions to many small problems.
  • PHP - used to support much of the early development of the thesaurus
