Dear owners and team members, As of tomorrow, we plan to start exchanging the PoS information with CMINE. To assure that your also receives additional advertising, please go to group/edit of your solution and enable the " I consent to re-use of this solution description under terms of CC BY 4.0" field. Once you have done so, the PoS will signal to any interested party that they can re-publish part of the solution description on their own sites and publications, as long as the link back to the original description is provided.
Currently, the following information is advertised:
- May_reproduce: "0" for no, 1 for yes,
- Usage_rights: "not for reproduction" or "CC BY 4.0 license",
- Title,
- Summary,
- First illustration, resized to 480x480 pixels and its' title,
- Some meta-information, e.g. " stage" and "trl",
- Time of the last update in two forms: as date and in the "time ago" form.
How to re-use the PoS data?
Content sharing is not limited to CMINE. All interested parties can do the same, by mean of the PoS group_export function that can be called in the following way: https://pos.driver-project.eu/en/group_export?_format=json&type=solution&changed=01.09.2019&may_reproduce=1&search=Crowd&offset=0 If the output on that link looks unreadable to you, try with _format=xml or install a "JSON" plugin for your browser. For CHROME, see this link.
Meaning of the parameters
- "en" stands for the language, could also be de, fr, es... FYI, we plan to get all the PoS contents translated to several languages by a professional translation service.
- _format can be "json" or "xml"
- type can be "solution" or " "
- "changed" indicates to show only the solutions that changed since a given date. This helps when importing the updated solution descriptions from time to time (e.g. weekly)
- may_reproduce=1 indicates that only the "for reproduction" solutions should be shown.
- search can be used to search for specific solution
- offset is used for paging and should be in the multiples of 10 (0,10,20,30...)
All the parameters except for the language code and _format are optional. That is, https://pos.driver-project.eu/de/group_export?_format=xml will return last ten solutions and trials that were translated to German. More information is available in the "PoS syndication HOWTO" tutorial.
