• Create a tag ontology by creating a tag hierarchy.
• Add source entries and add references to entities and relations.
• Upload files and connect them with everything.
• Full text search of database and files
• Graph view of connections
• PDF-Preview of uploaded pdf files
• Nice full screen image viewer enabling you to zoom and rotate images
• Powerful filtering and search features
• Multiple users possible
• Scalable: Use on desktop, run as single or distributed server.

Running Segrada

You need Java 8 JRE installed. Later versions will not work with Segrada.

In order to try out Segrada, download the program and unpack it to a folder of your choice.
On Windows, start the application with Segrada.exe. On Linux, Unix, and Apple Mac OS, run start.sh (you might have to make this file executable).
A window should appear which can start the actual application. Press "Start" and wait for the button "Open Application" to become active.
The application runs in your browser. You can stop the application by clicking "Stop" in the control window or by closing it.

You can also run Segrada using Docker:
