About

Epimenides is a web application that checks the performability of a task over an uploaded Digital Object. The system identifies the dependencies that are missing for performing a task on the uploaded Digital Objects.

In brief, Epimenides offers the following services:

  • Task-Performability Checking
  • Consequences of a Hypothetical Loss
  • Identification of Missing Modules

Users' Guide

A slide presentation with audio about the general approach is available here. Also a video tutorial of Epimenides is available.

A short text tutorial of the application is available here. Also some scenarios is available here.
