SCHEME SPLIT VIEWER version 1.0
===============================

* INTRODUCTION
--------------

This software provides a browser based interface for some transformations of the master files of the reformed IPC
like HTML files generated with the Split tool, PDF version and WIPO Internet Publication.

Through a simple search interface providing access both for Core and Advanced level, users can access different 
renditions of the IPC, with a response time which depends on the location and the format of transformation files.

This interface was produced by the IT Operations and Support Section of the Classification and 
IP Standards Division at WIPO to provide where needed rapid access to IPC information.

This interface intended to be imported in local IT infrastructure of (e.g. IP offices) together with 
IPC Split files.   Some adaptation may be required to take into account local specificities (like pathname for network
or local disk drives).

The targeted user community for this tool is users of the Core and Advanced level of the IPC wishing to have
access to the transformations of the master files located in their local/network drive or in their intranet.

* TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
------------------------

*OPERATING SYSTEM:
	- WINDOWS or LINUX can be used.

* Software package
 WEB browser (e.g. Internet Explorer 5.5 for Windows or Mozilla Firefox 1.5 under Linux and Windows)


* PRERREQUISITES
----------------
To access predefined transformations (listed below) from this interface, transformation data need to be stored in a folder 
accessible to the viewer:

- Core level of the Scheme split at subclass level in HTML format.
- Advanced level of the Scheme split at subclass level in HTML format.
- PDFs files for the Core level.
- PDFs files for the Advanced level.
- Access to Internet.


* INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
---------------------------------

Unzip the software in a folder and configure the location of the transformations in the "config_viewer.js".
To do so:

Edit the file "config/config_viewer.js" (e.g. Notepad) setting the following variables to the location where
the files are stored.

   - sScheme_Split_Core_Path --> Folder containing the HTML files for the Core level split at subclass level.
   - sScheme_Split_Adv_Path  --> Folder containing the HTML files for the Advanced level split at subclass level.
   - sPDF_Core_Path          --> Folder containing the PDFs documents for the Core level. The expected name for
				 a PDF document is the same as it was in the IPC public Website (e.g. 
				 "ipcr_en_a_core_2006.pdf" for Section A in English).
   - sPDF_Adv_Path           --> Folder containing the PDFs documents for the Advanced level. Same convention for
				 names of the PDF documents. The expected name for a PDF document is the same as 
				 it was in the IPC public Website.
   - sPDF_Index              --> Location of the HTML file containg the table of matters for the PDF documents 
				 (e.g. c:\ipc\20060101\pdf\advanced\eindex.htm)
   - sInternetParam 	     --> URL of the Internet Publication 
				 (e.g. http://www.wipo.int/classifications/ipc/ipc8/ for English and French or
				 http://www.wipo.int/classifications/ipc/ipc8trans/es/ for Spanish language).
   - sDefaultLevel           --> Default level for the viewer ('c' for Core level and 'a' for Advanced level).
   - sDefaultEdition         --> IPC edition of the files accessed (e.g. '20060101').

* USE
-----
The viewer interface is translated in three languages (English, French and Spanish). 

Depending on your language, open in a WEB browser the file index.htm (for English), or index_fr.htm or 
index_es.htm for French and Spanish respectivelly.

* KNWON ISSUES
--------------
Using Mozilla Firefox, you are not able to specify the path to the location of the transformation in an absolute
way (i.e. 'c:\ipc\20060101'). The path should be set relative to the location of the viewer software, (i.e.
'../ipc/20060101').

The reason is that Firefox tries to open file:///c:/ipc/200601/' using the protocol 'c' (the root) and it is
not recognized.
