Developed in DASISH Task 2.3.
TERESAH (Tools E-Registry for E-Social science, Arts and Humanities) is a cross-community tools knowledge registry aimed at researchers in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH). It aims to provide an authoritative listing of the software tools currently in use in those domains, and to allow their users to make transparent the methods and applications behind them.
TERESAH has been developed as part of the Data Service Infrastructure for the Social Sciences and Humanities (DASISH), a Seventh Framework Programme funded project. DASISH collaborates with the five ESFRI Infrastructures in the field of Social Science and Humanities (CESSDA, CLARIN, DARIAH, ESS, and SHARE). The tools and knowledge registry is aimed at researchers from all disciplines and sectors, research infrastructure builders and users, as well as IT personnel. It includes information about tools, services, methodologies, and current standards and makes use of existing social media for dissemination and discussions.
TERESAH is written primarily in PHP and uses the Laravel PHP framework as a robust foundation and to ease common tasks used in the majority of web projects.
Laravel is a free, open source PHP web application framework, designed for the development of MVC web applications with expressive, elegant syntax. Laravel attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as authentication, routing, sessions, and caching. Laravel is accessible, yet powerful, providing powerful tools needed for large, robust applications.
Documentation for the Laravel PHP framework can be found on the Laravel website.
To ensure consistency throughout the source code, follow the coding conventions defined by the PHP Framework Interop Group (especially PSR-1 and PSR-2) for the PHP.
