The first task was to create a crawler to process all the documents listed on this page. These were injected one by one by one into manager through the API provided by the own CMS. The result was 1975 XML documents stored and sorted alphabetically in XCMS as shown in the following figure:


Each XML document contains a lot of information on many aspects that are necessary to collect according to the standard that has been defined.

That is why a visual interface that facilitates both the modification of existing documents such as creating new documents is necessary for management (especially editing). XCMS facilitates this task thanks to its visual editor that renders us a WYSIWYM document as if it were a form:


Subsequently, we have indexed all documents to search on them and some of their fields for display in the interface. For this task we use the technology that Apache Solr offers.

Using a simple framework and a few hours for design, we created the following responsive portal that allows us to browse and search for specific plans.


If we want to see a detailed view for a specific document, we can find the following screen:


From this view we have access to the document in XML format and the external original document that describes what or where it is based. A side menu has also been implemented to navigate quickly through the entire document and consult all sections.


A brief guide has been released to explain with more detail and precision all the actions carried out in the construction of this platform. You can access it here.
