thymeflow-back

thymeflow-back is the backend implementation of Thymeflow, a Web application that provides the following features:

• Loads personal information into an RDF store. The following sources of personal information are currently supported:
  • Email (IMAP/RFC2822)
  • Calendar (CalDav/iCalendar)
  • Contact (CardDav/vCard)
  • Location data (Google Location History)
• Provides easy to use configurators for Google/Microsoft accounts using OAuth.
• Extracts Stays/Moves from Location data.
• Automatically infers alignments between contact and mail data (persons), calendar and location data (event locations).
• Provides a SPARQL endpoint for querying the RDF store, which features full-text search (Lucene SAIL).

For Knowledge representation, Thymeflow uses the http://schema.org ontology where possible, and its custom http://thymeflow.com/personal ontology otherwise.

thymeflow-front is the frontend implementation, which provides an interface for configuring Thymeflow, and data visualization.

thymeflow-back was principally built using the following technologies:

• SBT For building the project.
• RDF4J for the RDF Store.
• Akka Actor System and Streams for the HTTP Server and Clients, and the scheduling of loading and enriching stages.

Configuration

• Refer to core/src/main/resources/reference.conf for a list of configurable properties.
• Google/Microsoft/Facebook OAuth client id/secret and Google geocoder API key should be configured.
• Customize them by creating thymeflow/src/main/resources/application.conf and overriding the listed properties.

Usage

• Install SBT 0.13 (http://www.scala-sbt.org/download.html).
• Within the project's directory, run sbt in a console.
• Within the SBT console, execute thymeflow/run [userGraphFile] where userGraphFile is an optional path to a file for storing the user local Graph.
• By default, thymeflow-back will bind to localhost:8080. The SPARQL endpoint is located at /sparql.
• Use thymeflow/front for the Web interface.
