etspielberg / rdmo

A tool to support the planning, implementation, and organization of research data management.

RDMO - Research Data Management Organiser

This project is currently in an early stage of development and by no means production ready.

More information will follow.

Setup

The setup on different platforms is covered in seperate documents:

• Setup RDMO on Linux
• Setup RDMO on OSX
• Setup RDMO on Windows

Development server

The Django development server can be started using:

./manage.py runserver

Then, navigate to http://localhost:8000 in your browser.

Production setup

The development server is not suited to serve the application to the internet. Hosting RDMO on an actual webserver is covered on a separate page.

Testing

For running the test suite use:

./manage.py test

For a coverage report use:

./manage.py coverage
./manage.py coverage --html  # for an HTML coverage report

The HTML report can be viewed by opening htmlcov/index.html in a browser.

i18n

To update the locale files automatiacally run:

./manage.py makemessages -a --ignore=env/* --ignore=htmlcov/*

Then, edit the .po files in the locale directory. Afterwards run

./manage.py compilemessages

Graph models

To create/update the graphical representation of the datamodel, install graphviz:

On debian/Ubuntu systems, install a few prerequisites:

apt-get install graphviz-dev
pip install pygraphviz

Then create the image using:

./manage.py graph_models accounts domain questions projects -g > docs/figures/models.dot
dot -Tsvg -o docs/figures/models.svg docs/figures/models.dot
dot -Tpdf -o docs/figures/models.pdf docs/figures/models.dot
