History [edit]
In 2006 two developers with experience in commercial J2EE products decided to start a business called Logical Objects, with the mission to maintain and evolve the Open Source project Contineo.[2] After one year, Logical Objects decided to branch the old project and to start a completely new product called LogicalDOC.
In mid-2008, the first release of LogicalDOC was made available at SourceForge.[3] The first release was numbered 3.6[4] in order to continue the numeration from the old project.
In the 2010 LogicalDOC won the Infoworld Bossie Awards[5] in category: best open source applications.
License [edit]
LogicalDOC source code is distributed under GNU LGPLv3.[6]
Usage [edit]
LogicalDOC is a web-based document management application, so a web browser is needed to use it. Current web browsers that have been tested for compatibility with Logical Doc include: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Google Chrome. The web interface is built using Google Web Toolkit.
Architecture [edit]
LogicalDOC is developed using Java technology based on J2SE standards and the Tomcat application server. Therefore it can be installed and executed on various platforms (GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac OS X)
The LogicalDOC architecture is based on the following technologies:
- Apache_Tomcat Application Server
- Java J2SE (JDK 1.6 or higher)
- GWT (Google Web Toolkit - Ajax)
- Lucene
- Spring Framework
Due to its lightweight architecture, LogicalDOC can work on a wide set of devices and can be used to implement Cloud/SaaS document management.
Data can be stored in a RDBMS (MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, etc.)
General features [edit]
A document management system manages personal documents or business documentation, making it easier to find a previous document version. It enables searching by content, using document content indexing. LogicalDOC has currently been localized in 15 languages. LogicalDOC can be set up to support distinct full-text indexes for each supported language in order to apply specific indexing algorithms tailored to a particular language or variant.
