Install instructions for zKnowMan/proxyDemo software:

Assumptions

1) Assumes NT 4.0 (service pack 6) or Windows 98 (second edition).

Other Windows 95 or Windows 98 may work as well but they have not been tested--not certified yet for Linux, although it should be close and the source is available ;-).

Main Zope Installation

1) Install Zope 2.2.1.

Zope Extensions Installation

1) Unzip Bin.zip into your Zope Bin folder, such as c:\website\bin.

2) Unzip Extensions.zip into your Zope Extensions folder, such as c:\website\extensions.

3) Edit zapAds.bat and storagerIndex.bat files as necessary based upon where you installed Zope.

4) Place proxyDemo.zexp in your Zope installation's import folder and then import it into your Zope systems root folder using the Zope management interface (http://localhost:8080/manage) for instance.

5) Again, using the management interface, change the proxyDemo folder's properties as necessary based upon the drive and the installation folder you chose for your Zope installation.

WordNet Installation

1) Download WordNet files from http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/ . Download the PC database package (wn16pc.exe), the semantic concordance package (semcor16.exe),  and the sense map package (snsmap16.tar.gz).

2) Run wn16pc.exe. It will create a Wnpcinst folder. Run the Setup.exe contained in this folder.

3) Run semcor16.exe which will prompt for a folder. Give it the WordNet installation folder created in the previous step.

4) Unzip snsmpa16.tar.gz into the WordNet installation folder.

5) Add SET WNSEARCHDIR=%WNHOME%\DICT to your autoexec.bat file and reboot. At least on Windows systems, this does not get created automatically by the WordNet installation process.

Interfaces for the Current zKnowMan and Their Uses

Substitute the name of your Zope server for serverName and the port for portNumber in the URLs given below. The port is normally 8080 for Zope unless you change it.

To add a zKnowMan user to the Zope system. (You must do this before you'll be able to use the other URLs given below.)

To surf starting with the DMOZ hierarchy:

     http://serverName:portNumber/proxyDemo/index_html

To surf starting at an arbitrary URL:

     http://serverName:portNumber/proxyDemo/index_html

To build a long-term highly compressed collection:

     http://serverName:portNumber/proxyDemo/startCollectionBuild_html

To search the daily and long-term collection:

     http://serverName:portNumber/proxyDemo/search_html

To look for synonyms of nouns using WordNet (to expand the query):
