Essentially, it enables researchers to enter information into the database and link pieces of this information sematically to each other. = Installation = histcross is intended to run on a LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP) system, but can be run from other configurations as well (such as lighttpd or on a Windows platform). Requirements: - Apache with rewriting capablities and granting access to .htaccess-files (could be changed or set in a central file). - cakephp library (downloaded from www.cakephp.org) - imagemagick or, better, graphicsmagick with imagemagick- wrapper - graphviz - sphinx search engine (if full text search needed) Not all of the requirements are needed - you could live without the last three ones and still be happy with histcross.
