As announced during last week’s Talis Platform webinar, the code behind Talis’ Project Cenote is being released on the TDN, licensed under the GNU General Public Licence.

Project Cenote demonstrates the power of the Talis Platform, leveraging rich and flexible apis onto Internet-strength stores of community-contributed bibliographic data to rapidly build compelling new applications.

The code powering Project Cenote demonstrates the ease with which the Talis Platform can be put to work in powering existing and future applications. Simple web service calls, clearly visible in the code we are making available, allow web developers to easily integrate Talis Platform capabilities within their own applications. Take a look at the code driving Project Cenote, and see how straightforward it would be to modify this to meet your own requirements.

Nadeem Shabir, one of the creators of Project Cenote, offers further information on the code and what it does, here.

Please note: Project Cenote obtains book jacket images from data contributed to us for experimental purposes by Talis Platform partner, Nielsen Bookdata. The version of the code made available for download here replaces this store of images with imagery from Amazon, in line with Amazon’s terms of use.
