Web Application: Documentación y Archivo Científico, DYAC

Abstract

DYAC is a web application that uses some theoretical notions from the linguistics of documentation and the scientific documentation. For the development of the software, we used the Yii2 framework and the database engine with GNU / GP open code license MariaDB. In 2018, the Universidad del Azuay (UDA) signed an agreement for Scientific and Technological Cooperation between seven Universities of Latin American; for that reason, the LIDI team of researchers from the Universidad del Azuay, as a contribution to the aforementioned agreement, proposes the development of the application for DYAC Scientific Documentation and Archives. The objective is design and develop the web application to store, and publish research files. A systematic literature review identified eleven websites, which allowed determining the most relevant and significant attributes to model in the design of the database of the web application. We combined the methodologies GORSHCHEK, SCRUM, and OOHDM. The most results show that DYAC has application administrator, researcher, registered user and visiting; in its structure, the application evidence of two sub-applications: the Backend and the Frontend web application. Finally, there is a strong commitment to socio-diversity, cultural diversity and linguistic diversity. Documentation and scientific archives take on importance.
