Introduction

The system has been developed at the Institute of Computer Science of the Warsaw University of Technology by a team under the supervision of prof. Henryk Rybiński. First, it was implemented with Java technology programming tools - JCR (Java Content Repository). Since version 3.x the system uses the technology of SOLR and MongoDB.

This manual has been developed for the needs of the end user, who accesses the system resources with the interface available in a web browser.

Other aspects of KBS use are described in separate documents:

Attention

The menu layout with individual functions is definable depending on local needs. Therefore, it may turn out that the functionality you are looking for is located in a different place than that indicated in this manual. We encourage you to fully search the manual to find the functionality you need.

Acknowledgement: The first version of the manual was created in 2011 as part of the SYNAT project. Subsequent improvements to the manual were made as part of the system's development by teams from the Main Library of the Warsaw University of Technology and the Institute of Computer Science of the Warsaw University of Technology.

The system and the available manual (as well as other instructional and supporting materials) were subject of improvements made over the years 2011-2023 thanks to:

  1. financial subsidies from the Rector of the Warsaw University of Technology

  2. annual contributions from over twenty universities and scientific institutes for the development of the system,

  3. financing of projects related to the implementation of the system in some universities and research units, implemented in the chronological order of project implementation:

  4. Oncology Center - Institute of Maria Skłodowska-Curie

  5. SWPS University of Humanities and Social Sciences

  6. Silesian University of Technology
