iServe v2.1.1

This new release of iServe includes some minor bug fixes regarding the handling of Content-Types and updates the logging mechanism for better performance.

This version introduces a significant change:

• Redis has been disabled as a caching mechanism as it presented bugs. Instead iServe will always use in-memory indexes.

From a functionality perspective iServe will provide the same features but startup will take longer as the indexes will have to be repopulated. We shall re-introduce a mechanism for this in the next release.

iServe v2.1.0

This is an update on iServe v2 which includes a few new features and minor bug fixes.
Among the new features you can find:

• Added support for batch updates to graphs.
• Updated the models to be preloaded

Note: This feature introduces a minor API incompatibility with the earlier version: single property update is performed on ../{svc_id}/property as opposed to earlier ../{svc_id}/properties. Now at that endpoint you update properties in batch.

iServe v2.0.2

This is an update on iServe v2 which includes a few new features and minor bug fixes.
Among the new features you can find:

• Discovery interleaving of mandatory and optional parts supporting also RDF backends without transitive properties reasoning.
• Proper de-referencing and upload of modelReferences added a posteriori via the RESTful API.
• Only requested filters and scorers are applied. Previously all scorers were taken into account and averaged if none was specified.
• Homogenised the behaviour of the indexed and not indexed matchers when matching sets of URIs.
• Exact match is now correct with or without reasoning on the backend. Without reasoning though we can't spot equivalent classes.
• Updated elda-spec-template to show new properties and improve the views.

iServe v2.0.1

This is an update on iServe v2 which includes a few new features and bug fixes.
Among the new features you can find:

• Added matching type as parameter of functional classification and I/O
• Extended function to explore the KB. Now users can specify transitive properties
• Concept matching is performed on property ranges
• When a Swagger document is imported the source document becomes the documentation
• NFP manager fetches ontologies only for model reference properties
• Improved efficiency of service documents index with Redis-based implementation

Additionally we have fixed a few minor bugs/issues:

• Fixed JSON output serialization of KB concepts with multiple labels
• Fixed content negotiation when remote service documents are fetched
• Fixed content negotiation bug in service properties RESTful API

iServe v2.0.0

This is the first release of iServe v2. This new version incorporates a lot of changes from v1 regarding new features, performance, user interface, compatibility, as well as a newly engineered core to better support its evolution in the future. Indeed, this version includes a number bug fixes too.

• A core based on MSM4J which helps manage service descriptions, transformations from different formats.
• Support for core Non-functional Properties both at the description level as well as at the storage level
• Advanced discovery support (Semantic In/Out, Semantic Classification, Unions, Intersections, and Subtractions of discovery, free text search, and any combination of the above)
• High-performance implementation of discovery algorithms able to handle thousands of requests (as necessary for composition) within milliseconds in plain desktop hardware.
• Pluggable Scorers and Filters for discovery. iServe provides out of the box a few basic scorers: popularity scoring and grounding-based filter
• RESTful API for CRUD and Discovery functionality with an interactive GUI
• A new Linked Data API and user interface based on ELDA
• Support for the following formalisms: SAWSDL, WSMO-Lite, OWL-S, hRESTS, Swagger
