Code, outputs and Information relevant to the discovery layer.

#Overview

The AusDTO Discovery Layer is infrastructure in support of the aim outlined here:

https://www.dto.gov.au/blog/making-government-discoverable

It is at "Proof Of Concept" status (ALPHA), meaning it aims to address technical risks (answer the question "could that work?") rather than evaluate product-market fit (BETA status) or provide a reliable public service (PRODUCTION status).

More information:

• http://ausdto-discovery-layer.readthedocs.org (documentation)
• https://github.com/AusDTO/discoveryLayer (code)
• https://github.com/AusDTO/discoveryLayer/issues (tickets, support)
• http://waffle.io/AusDTO/discoveryLayer (kanban)

Note also this depends on the https://github.com/AusDTO/discoCrawl and https://github.com/AusDTO/serviceCatalogue components. This is explained in more detail in the documentation at http://ausdto-discovery-layer.readthedocs.org/

install

pre-requsites (ubuntu packages):

• python-dev
• python-pip
• libpq-dev
• python-virtualenv
• libxslt1-dev

which can be set up with:

sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip libpq-dev python-virtualenv libxslt1-dev

Then (recommended approach):

virtualenv .venv # or whatever you want your virtualenv called . .venv/bin/activate # substitute .venv if you named it differently pip install -r requirements.txt

Of course, you can install the dependancies in your site-python if you wish.
