Demeter / Δημητηρ

==================

    > εἰμὶ δὲ Δημήτηρ τιμάοχος, ἥτε μέγιστον 

    > ἀθανάτοις θνητοῖς τ᾽ ὄνεαρ καὶ χάρμα τέτυκται.

Demeter is a configurable data-harvesting application.

Synopis

--------

    demeter get

Description

------------

Demeter allows the user to specify common data-downloading

operations through configuration and convention as much as

possible, while still allowing the user to drop down to code

to accomplish actions that cannot be represented in configuration.

Usage

-----

Demeter requires a configuration file to be really useful. You can see

some examples of them in the `config` directory. These should be _YAML_

documents.

Adding a new downloader is as straightforward as adding a new perl module in

the `App::Demeter::Source` namespace. Because downloaders are perl modules

that means they can be versioned, installed, have dependencies, and all

the other good things about having perl modules.

INSTALLATION

---------------

You do not need to install this application to use it. If you do want

to install it, you can do so with the following commands.

	perl Build.PL

	./Build

	./Build test

	./Build install

SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION

--------------------------

The documentation is a bit non-existent, and could do with some improvement. You can try

your luck with perldoc.

    perldoc App::Demeter

A better bet is contacting the author (alexkalderimis at gmail.com), or

the intermine development list (dev at intermine.org), where this code is maintained.
