     1.7 +How to build and run Strabon from command line
     1.8 +==============================================
     1.9 +Assuming you have already downloaded Strabon and you are in the top-level
    1.10 +directory of Strabon, issue the following command to build it from command line:
    1.11 +
    1.12 +	$ mvn package
    1.13 +
    1.14 +The above command runs automatically the JUnit tests. To skip them pass option
    1.15 +`-DskipTests=true' to the above command. The complete command is the following:
    1.16 +
    1.17 +	$ mvn -DskipTests=true package
    1.18 +
    1.19 +In case of an error during building of Strabon and assuming that the error does
    1.20 +not come from the JUnit tests, please have a look at the `Known Issues' section
    1.21 +below. If none of the known issues of that section applies, please contact the
    1.22 +developers through the Strabon mailing-list or submit a corresponding bug
    1.23 +(see `Bugs' section below).
    1.24 +
    1.25 +After you have successfully built Strabon, you have access to the following
    1.26 +components:
    1.27 +
    1.28 +  * Strabon Endpoint
    1.29 +
    1.30 +    This is a SPARQL endpoint for Strabon. It is distributed as a war file so
    1.31 +    you may deploy it in a Tomcat container. You may find the war file under
    1.32 +    directory `endpoint/target'.
    1.33 +
    1.34 +  * Strabon Endpoint (standalone)
    1.35 +
    1.36 +    This is a SPARQL endpoint for Strabon like the above one, but it differs
    1.37 +    only in that it does not require the user to have already set up a Tomcat
    1.38 +    container. The standalone Strabon Endpoint may be run by issuing the
    1.39 +    following command:
    1.40 +
    1.41 +    	$ java -jar endpoint-exec/target/strabon-endpoint-executable-${version}.jar
    1.42 +
    1.43 +    After issuing the above command, you may access the Strabon Endpoint at
    1.44 +    the following URL: <http://localhost:8080/>.
    1.45 +
    1.46 +    Please see the page at <http://hg.strabon.di.uoa.gr/Strabon/rev/674f8f91162b>
    1.47 +    to find out other options that you may pass to the Tomcat container that
    1.48 +    will run by the above command.
    1.49 +
    1.50 +    SPECIAL NOTE: if you need to configure the connection details to the
    1.51 +    underlying database, you may do so in two ways:
    1.52 +      1. By modifying file `endpoint/WebContent/WEB-INF/connection.properties'
    1.53 +         before building Strabon and executing the above command.
    1.54 +      2. After executing the above command, by visiting the following page by a
    1.55 +         browser: <http://localhost:8080/ChangeConnection>
    1.56 +
    1.57 +  * Strabon Endpoint Client
    1.58 +
    1.59 +    This is a Java client for interacting with Strabon Endpoint or any other
    1.60 +    SPARQL endpoint. It is packaged as a jar file and may be found under
    1.61 +    directory `endpoint-client/target/' with name
    1.62 +    `strabon-endpoint-client-${version}.jar'. This jar contains any dependencies
    1.63 +    to other code, so may copy and paste it to your project and start playing
    1.64 +    with the code immediately.
    1.65 +
    1.66 +  * Strabon script
    1.67 +
    1.68 +    The `strabon' script is located under the `scripts/' directory and it is the
    1.69 +    main command-line tool for interacting with Strabon. You may use it to store
    1.70 +    RDF data with geospatial information or query/update it using one of
    1.71 +    stSPARQL or GeoSPARQL query languages.
    1.72 +
    1.73 +  * Endpoint script
    1.74 +
    1.75 +    The `endpoint' script is located under the `scripts' directory and it is the
    1.76 +    main command-line tool for interacting with a `Strabon Endpoint'. You may
    1.77 +    use it to do any operation you would like to do with the `strabon' script
    1.78 +    above, but in contrast to the `strabon' script you need to have access to a
    1.79 +    Strabon endpoint. Of course, the `Strabon Endpoint Client' component above
    1.80 +    can be used as well as a command-line tool. At the time of writing, the
    1.81 +    `Strabon Endpoint Client' component supports only querying of RDF data with
    1.82 +    geospatial information.
