The 547 revision provides the following functionality:

 the Thematic Domain Groups (TDGs) and their profiles have been synchronized with the new TDGs and activities list

 the Data Category editor is now operational, although the part to edit conceptual domains and linguistic sections has not been implemented yet

 a Data Category specification can now be checked against a set of rules derived from the current draft of ISO 12620.2

 interface elements have been checked on proper capitalization

 the internal set of data categories related to the DCR data model has been updated and extended leading to a better rendering of a Data Category specification

Note: This update includes several updates of the database schema and contents. To facilitate a smooth propagation of these to the production server the database will be replaced, which means that user accounts and DCSs created since the beginning of December will be lost.

Note: Firefox shows from time to time its default login dialog.

The 485 revision provides the following functionality:

 the DC editor now validates the identifier, and won’t allow you to save a duplicate; when there aren’t private duplicates but public ones it also pops up a warning

 the database has been updated with the state of SYNTAX on 17 November 2008; unfortunately this means that user accounts and DCSs only available on ISOcat are lost

 fixed a basket bug

 added scope and owner information to the DC viewer

 by default sort a profile/DCS on the name

 suppress profile value domains of non-context profiles

 reset paging model when switching to a flat DCS view

 added a context menu (activated with a click on the right mouse button) to hide/show columns in the DCS viewer; the identifier column has been added as a by default hidden column

 more “loading …” info

 reset scrollbars when the next DC is loaded

 adapted the DCIF schema to support different levels of granularity

 added support for a ‘domain oriented’ DCIF dump

 added support for nested DCSs

 full support for rendering hierarchies in the DCS viewer

2008-11-5

The 430 revision provides the following functionality:

 more support for nested profiles

 added initial help system

 reworked the (public) REST interface

 added support for a shallow DCIF dump (support in the export dialog is pending)

 added thematic views intermediate level

 it’s now possible to drag multiple DCs to the basket

 started adding support for rendering DC hierarchies in the DCS viewer

The revision also fixes some known issues

The 401 revision provides the following functionality:

 colorings of statuses in the DCS viewer

 more of data model is covered by the DC editor; however, it’s not yet possible to save the changes made

 

2008-8-11

 the DC and DCS views can now be detached, i.e. opened in an window, in the Explorer and Tabbook views

 My Workspace and the TDG nodes in the workspace viewer can now be selected, which shows information for the user or about the thematic domain group

 

2008-8-4

The 320 revision provides the following functionality:

 the Syntax data has been (partially) converted into the revised data model as described in the upcoming ISO 12620

 the interface has been adapted to also support this revised data model

 the revised DCIF is supported

 many more (minor) changes to the interface

 

The following functionality is (temporarily) dysfunctional:

 the GMT export format, which may be resurrected but then based on the revised data model

 the Syntax RPC interface depends on the GMT export and thus is also dysfunctional at the moment; the RPC interface will also be resurrected but only the procedure prototypes will be backward compatible, results will conform to the revised data model

 

2008-6-27

The 263 revision fixes the following functionality:

 fixed the email validation regular expression

 the DCR data model DCS is now properly cached, leading to much improved DC rendering performance
