Dear Solution owners and team members, As of tomorrow, we plan to start exchanging the PoS information with CMINE. To assure that your solution 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. "innovation 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.
