ShareFast is a powerful web application that manages files and URLs using RDF metadata, with a client/server framework. Built on the Jena software platform, the tool is designed to help users keep all of their digital assets organized and easy to find.
These concepts were developed through discussions with several makers and aimed to provide solutions for improving knowledge sharing during manufacturing processes. ShareFast's workflow system allows users to describe processes and manage documents by linking them to the workflow.
The ShareFast workflow is flexible and can easily adapt to changes in processes. This makes the system useful not only in manufacturing but also in education and office work, among other domains.
ShareFast offers a comprehensive client/server web application that utilizes RDF metadata on the Jena framework as Semantic Web in organizations. The server software is responsible for managing documents while the client software enables users to edit and browse workflows and search and browse documents.
ShareFast also includes a full-text search feature by ApacheLucena and a blog-like discussion space, which is an important feature of most documents management software or groupware. Users can draw workflows by selecting items from the toolbar and locating them in the field. Node properties can be edited, and workflows can be selected in the hierarchy and displayed in the right pane.
By using the workflow system, users gain a better understanding of the process and obtain related documents by simply clicking on each task. In the latest release (1.1.2), ShareFast has added several features, such as old server support, improved performance for reading files, and filename search field. Overall, ShareFast is an essential tool for any organization looking to improve its knowledge sharing practices.
