Ariadne (software) academic and corporate contexts. End users interact with the KPS through client tools. Java and web applications allow users to insert documents and their associated metadata into the KPS, search for relevant documents, and download them from the KPS. Java applications interact with the KPS through the "ARIADNE Web Services". The ARIADNE Web Services provide an API that hides the database access details and also enables interoperability with other repositories. The ARIADNE toolset contains the following components: Ariadne (software) Ariadne (named for the figure from Greek mythology) is a European association for sharing knowledge and fostering international cooperation in teaching
