Acceleration

A succinct interface to the IBM Watson Explorer Foundational Components Engine REST API

by Colin Dean [email protected]

Introduction

Acceleration provides a succinct, ActiveResource-style interface to a IBM Watson Explorer Foundational Components (WEX-FC) Engine search platform instance's REST API.

The name comes from WEX-FC's pre-acquisition name, Vivísimo Velocity. Acceleration is derived from Velocity. Get it?

Releasing

Acceleration uses semantic versioning. Once all work for a version is committed, increment the version number in lib/acceleration/version.rb and execute semver inc patch, or whatever else is appropriate for the release. Then, commit the changes to lib/acceleration/version.rb and .semver with git commit -a -m "version $(semver tag)" and then tag it with git tag $(semver tag).
