Exposes part of the Inducks database through a REST interface. It could be useful for comic related programs (taggers, viewers...) but also for semantic applications mashing up different sources. Data is exported in JSON-LD using http://bib.schema.org data model, specifically ComicSeries, ComicStory and related metadata.
Parts of the Comic Book Ontology (https://comicmeta.org/cbo/) and Dublin Core (http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/) are also used.
Examples:
/series/us/US-> Uncle Scrooge series/series/us/US/issues-> All Uncle Scrooge issues/series/us/US/issues/5-> Issue #5 for Uncle Scrooge (with contained story informations)/series/?q=uncle+scrooge-> Search series containing the terms uncle scrooge in the title/stories/W+US++++5-02-> "The secret of Atlantis" Carl Barks story (with backlinks to issues printing it)/stories/?q=atlantis-> Search stories containing the term atlantis in the title. Looks also for translated titles in related entries
To run the application locally (requires docker and docker-compose installed):
./make build
./make start
To update the local coa database:
./make update-local-db
