Early work to demonstrate JavaScript accessing the TPF endpoint of OpenVIVO

vivo-tpf

A Javascript experiment to use the TPF API of Vitro to build some access functions that can be used to populate a profile page with data. In this way, we get a simple HTML page with CSS identified elements, and use the DOM from Javascript to populate identified elements.

If successful, we should be able to build a set of Javascript functions for each of the 56 things that can appear on a profile. Each function is a simple combination of four fundamentals -- getObject, getLiteral, loop, and show. We should also be able to hide the ontology access in these functions, allowing full separation of model, function, and display. At least, that's the hope.

This is early work

To try it, load the vivo.html into a browser from a directory which has vivo.js available. The code runs against the open TPF API of OpenVIVO. No authentication is required. Should display a simple profile.

Known bugs

The code needs work around Javascript closures.
