Desarrollo de prototipo de aplicación distribuida para gestión de contenidos basado en Alfresco para la EPN

Abstract

The current work introduces a prototype of a distributed application for content management in Alfresco. This prototype has a metadata manager module, a synchronization module, a metadata addition module and a metadata-based search module. The metadata manager module manages custom metadata models for content stored in Alfresco. The search module allows searching content stored in Alfresco, according to personalized metadata. The files and folders viewer allows the addition and edition of metadata on files or folders. The synchronization module allows to replicate local files with their simile files. For development the Windows Forms of C# programming language and the Alfresco's RESTful interfaces were used. In the first chapter, the main concepts used are contextualized and the tools used to develop the prototype are described. The second chapter presents the process followed for the implementation of the prototype; the requirements survey, design, development and validation, based on the guidelines of the agile methodology for software development Scrum. The third chapter shows the results of the tests performed, tests that show the requirements were met and the user approves the application; a feedback based on the detected errors were performed. The fourth chapter shows the conclusions and recommendations of this work.
