# Labirinto

Labirinto is a *virtual laboratory portal*, it makes a collection of software browseable and searchable for the

end-user. Labirinto presents the software's metadata following the [CodeMeta](https://codemeta.github.io) specification

in an intuitive way and allows the user to filter and perform a limited search.  The portal gives access to software if

it offers web-based interfaces.

This system is specifically geared towards research software, and for instance allows linking to relevant scientific publications for each tool.

## Architecture

Labirinto is a front-end only, it runs fully client-side and is written in Javascript using the [Vue.js](https://vuejs.org) framework.

Labirinto relies on software metadata specifications according to the [CodeMeta](https://codemeta.github.io) standard

(linked open data / JSON-LD). Metadata of the desired software collection should be combined into a single registry

(JSON-LD), which can be hosted and obtained from wherever you want. [CodeMetaPy](https://github.com/proycon/codemetapy)

can be used to build such a registry from individual ``codemeta.json`` files.

Note that Labirinto does not and will never offer an editable database or metadata editor for the software metadata;

this is a front-end that does not even require a database backend or any server-side component for that matter. Our

philosophy is that software metadata should be in a simple format and either live right alongside the source code in a

version controlled repository (e.g. on github, bitbucket, etc), or be obtained from a software repository such as as the

Python Package Index, CRAN, CPAN, Maven Central and automatically converted to a unified format.

Labirinto is used by and included in the [LaMachine](https://proycon.github.io/LaMachine) software distribution,

providing an overview and access to all software installed in LaMachine. The metadata for tools participating in

LaMachine is, when not explicitly provided yet, *automatically* converted to the CodeMeta standard (by

[CodeMetaPy](https://github.com/proycon/codemetapy) or [CodeMetar](https://ropensci.github.io/codemetar/)), and

subsequently combined into a single registry for use with Labirinto.
