Batch execution of CSV to RDF conversion #2

Open mikel-egana-aranguren opened 7 years ago

mikel-egana-aranguren commented 7 years ago

We are working with the government in a Linked Open Data project in which they need to convert CSVs to RDF (https://github.com/opendata-euskadi). Many of the CSVs present structures that don't change or change very little (only the cell values are updated), so the requirement is to define a mapping once and execute it in batch mode every time there is a data update. Is this possible in FAIRifier?

More specifically, what I need is to be able to execute the history JSON, in which I have defined the RDF skeleton (graphically), programmatically, against a given CSV.

Thanks

PS: The other solutions we are considering are Grafter (http://grafter.org/) and OntoText's OntoRefine, which I really like due to the fact that the conversion is defined as a SPARQL INSERT query against a temporary SPARQL endpoint representing the "raw" CSV data as RDF (also based in Open Refine). Executing OntoRefine programmatically is not straight forward though.

This feature is in the works, try the development version, you will be able to record you rdf skeleton and execute the changes on a new file by exporting the json and importing it into the new project

Is there a way of doing it programmatically? We will have plenty of different CSVs, each of them with a defined skeleton, and we need to execute those conversions periodically through our Java platform. We can't use the GUI.
