Part search server

Because the partsregistry has limited search capabilities, a search service was created, running at: [http://igempartview.appspot.com igempartview.appspot.com]. You can use this server to browse parts by category, as specified by each part in the partsregistry editor. It also supports a range of other webservices that can be used by javascript or other applications, described [http://igempartview.appspot.com/api.jsp here].

This server runs on [http://code.google.com/intl/nl-NL/appengine/ Google App Engine], so server uptime is pretty ok. There are no server maintainance costs, because it will be able to run within the [http://code.google.com/intl/nl-NL/appengine/docs/quotas.html free quota's] of Google App Engine.

Implementation

The server uses the [http://partsregistry.org/DAS_-_Distributed_Annotation_System DAS server] to look for new parts, and the [http://partsregistry.org/Registry_API#XML_Part_Information XML Part information] to read part information. It refreshes it's content once a week (Look [http://igempartview.appspot.com/content_update.jsp here] for accurate update information).

iPhone part browser app

The TU Delft team is working on an iPhone app to allow quick lookup of part properties, and browse parts by category. The new webservice above is being used for this.

iPhone apps have to be approved by Apple before they end up in the App Store. Once this is done for our app, details will be put on this page: http://igempartview.appspot.com/iphone.jsp
