User’s guide

NetworkCurator works along the lines of a Wordpress blog. One person installs the software on a web server. Many other people can then view the resulting website.

The NetworkCurator couples a blog-like content management system with graph visualization tools. The site can manage a community of users who create, annotate, and curate network data collaboratively.

The user’s guide is aimed at two types of users: site administrators and site visitors.

Site administrators

Site administrators are those users who install and configure the software on their web server. The documentation covers

• Installation, and
• Administration.

Site visitors and users

Visitors to a NetworkCurator site who are not administrators interact with the hosted data through the web interface.

• Guests, i.e. users who are not logged in, can preview networks that are marked as public.
• Registered users interact with data in a manner managed through user permissions.
