RIB Overview

• What is RIB?
• Runs as its own web server
• A CGI GUI front-end to a relational database
• Provides ability to create and maintain
  repositories

RIB Overview

• What is a repository?
• Whatever you want it to be!
• For our purposes, it is a catalog describing
  software available at ERDC
• May include information such as web location,
  maintainer, machines deployed on, operating
  systems supported, etc

RIB Overview

• Hierarchical Administration
• RIB Administrator
• Has access to the RIB server
• Creates and deletes repositories
• Repository Administrator
• Has access only to individual repositories
• Can change data models and content of individual
  repositories
• Users

Data Models

• Object oriented design
• Hierarchical (classes and sub-classes)
• Inheritance
• Default Model
• Each Class has 3 associated fields
• Attributes
• Relationships
• Subclasses
• Fields may be empty

12
Data Models

• Attributes
• Descriptors of the object (Text)
• May be required or optional
• May or may not appear in catalog
• Single or multiple fields
• Associated data type
• An attribute may have sub-attributes

13
Data Models

• Relationships
• THE way to associate different objects with each
  other
• Relates an object to another object of the same
  or a different class
• May relate objects of super-class, peer class, or
  sub-class

14
Data Models

• Subclasses
• Used to organize the data model
• Inherit attributes and relationships
• Basic Interoperability Data Model
• IEEE Standard 1420.1
• Defines a minimum set of information about assets
  that reuse libraries should be able to exchange
  to support interop.

15
BIDM

• Root class
• Attributes Name
• RelationshipsNone
• 4 Subclasses
• Assets Items of interest
• Element Single file
• Library Made up of assets
• Organization Person, company, group, etc
