Laces Data Platform v12.3#

Release date: May 12, 2024

Since the previous release the following changes have been implemented.

Update in signup procedure#

Due to overwhelming requests, automatic sign-up for Laces Data platform is temporarily disabled. During this period, if you wish to create a new account, please send an email to sign-up@laceshub.com with the following information: your full name, email address, and organization name. Our team will prioritize your request and promptly assist you in setting up your account.

In case you have a Linked Data viewer configured for a publication, a link to the viewer can now be added in the metadata of publication details. This link will be shown in the Laces Hub, so users can browse directly to the viewer from the publication details.

Query over multiple graphs using the YASGUI client#

Our API supported three types of querying, as defined in the SPARQL Protocol Operations. To accommodate customer needs, we have implemented a fourth type of query. This allows the client to include the parameters default-graph-uri (0 or more), named-graph-uri (0 or more), and query in the Request Message Body. With this modification, the parameters in form-urlencoded curl.txt will be appropriately considered.

Publication abstract as a searchable field when querying publications#

In the LDP v12.2 publication Abstract was added as a new metadata field. With this update, querying our API for publications now includes the ability to search within the Abstract text. This means that Abstract content will be included in the search results, providing users with more comprehensive and relevant information.

Asynchronous endpoint for downloading publication data#

We have addressed the issue about long waiting times for API calls to return when downloading large publications, especially when they result in request timeouts. To alleviate this issue, we've implemented asynchronous downloading for publications. Refer to our REST API references documentation for more details.

Minor bug fixes#

We have addressed several minor bugs related to access token validation and changing authentication types. Additionally, we have implemented various security updates to enhance the overall integrity and safety of our platform.
