To start with WhatsOpt, you need an account on a WhatOpt server (see contact). Then you should read the tutorial (part 1 and part 2) and/or watch the videos.
The paper will give you the overview and the background on the project.
The WhatsOpt command line interface (wop) cheat sheet is available here.
For a deeper knowledge of the implementation of WhatsOpt, you can browse the developer documentation. As WhatsOpt exposes some REST web services, you have access to the their OpenAPI documentation here.
