Tools
Two specific tools available for use with MulgaraTM are the Mulgara ViewerTM and Descriptors.
The Mulgara Viewer is a web-based query interface for Mulgara. It allows you to execute iTQLTM commands and then view the results in formatted HTML.
Descriptors are XSL stylesheets that perform specific, well-defined tasks in Mulgara. They are an alternative to using APIs. Some examples of useful tasks that Descriptors can be used for include:
- Hiding complex Mulgara queries behind a simple interface.
- Aggregating complex data by Descriptors calling other Descriptors.
- Developing HTML front ends to Mulgara queries.
