TemaTres: Open Source Indexing Tool Updated

February 11, 2020

Open source software is the foundation for many proprietary software startups, including the open source developers themselves. Most open source software tends to lag in the manner of updates and patches, but TemaTres recently updated according to blog post, “TemaTres 3.1 Release Is Out! Open Source Web Tool To Manage Controlled Vocabularies.”

TemaTres is an open source vocabulary server designed to manage controlled vocabularies, taxonomies, and thesauri. The recent update includes the following:

“Utility for importing vocabularies encoded in MARC-XML format

Utility for the mass export of vocabulary in MARC-XML format

New reports about global vocabulary structure (ex: https://r020.com.ar/tematres/demo/sobre.php?setLang=en#global_view)

Distribution of terms according to depth level

Distribution of sum of preferred terms and the sum of alternative terms

Distribution of sum of hierarchical relationships and sum of associative relationships

Report about terms with relevant degree of centrality in the vocabulary (according to prototypical conditions)

Presentation of terms with relevant degree of centrality in each facet

New options to config the presentation of notes: define specific types of note as prominent (the others note types will be presented in collapsed div).

Button for Copy to clipboard the terms with indexing value (Copy-one-click button)

New user login scheme (login)

Allows to config and add Google Analytics tracking code (parameter in config.tematres.php file)

Improvements in standard exposure of metadata tags

Inclusion of the term notation or code in the search box predictive text

Compatibility with PHP 7.2”

TemaTres does updates frequently, but it is monitored. The main ethos about open source is to give back as much as you take. TemaTres appears to follow this modus operandi. It TemaTres wants to promote its web image, the organization should really upgrade its Web site, fix the broken links, and provide more information on what the software actually does.
