problem with the Remote DCR: LAT DCR Connector
Accessing the Remote DCR I can not get any result, i.e. an empty form.
I noticed that the URL which is shown in the form
(http://syntax.inist.fr/mod_web_service/call.php)
is no more valid, but the browser redirects to this site
http://www.isocat.org/
Where is the the connector is located/implemented?
Is it possible to change the target url?
Is there a parameter to do that?
best,
Nicola
Re: problem with the Remote DCR: LAT DCR Connector
Yes, there is new server for the Data Cattegory Registry at isocat.org. It is possible to switch to the new connector location by adding an argument to the ELAN launch command:
-DDCRLocation="http://lux12.mpi.nl/isocat/rpc/syntax"
But, this connector seems currently to be out of service. I'll have to check its status.
Fundamental changes are being carried out to the structure of the DCR and it might be that the client software that has been shipped with the latest release of ELAN won't work anymore at all. I'll keep you informed.
To change the launch command on the Mac add the line above to ElanMac_3-7-2.sh script or to the info.plist in ELAN 3.7.2/Contents.

Re: Re: problem with the Remote DCR: LAT DCR Connector
The information I received from the Isocat people confirms my previous assumption: a new data model has been implemented that is only available through a new interface. So, unfortunately, using the DCR from within ELAN will only be possible again after changes in ELAN's DCR module. Hopefully in the next release.
(Unless the Inist server would be resurrected...)

Release of ELAN 4.3.0
