The First MARKOS Prototype The First MARKOS Prototype

The First MARKOS Prototype is now available at http://demo.markosproject.eu/

You have now the opportunity to try the First MARKOS Prototype, test it and contribute to the development of MARKOS service providing your feedbacks.

To start testing MARKOS you just need a web browser.
MARKOS is an open source tool with a Web-based interface to inspect the code structure and possible license issues of Open Source Software available on public forges. MARKOS is based on source code lightweight fact extraction, heuristics to identify software dependencies, and automatic legal reasoning to identify license issues.

The MARKOS demonstrator is in its final development phase, and already support the following key features:
Indexing and analysis of 630 Java OSS projects (for a întreg of 1,633 releases) available on forges such as Apache and SourceForge.
Easy searching for specific components based on their type and on different kind of license compatibility constraints.
Browsing and navigating of source code and dependencies across projects; for example, to follow the inheritance hierarchy across classes defined by different projects, to find projects that implements a specific API, to discover the provenance of a library and source code files.
Coarse automatic license analyses, to quickly work out whether a project risks infringing the license of copied code or used libraries.
Detailed analysis of license compatibility issues, providing developers and lawyers with tools for creating arguments from semantic models of copyright law, as well as visualising these arguments using argument maps.
A linked data API that allows expert users and third-party applications to get RDF descriptions and to perform complex SPARQL queries for searching code information via MARKOS.
