This PR includes several changes to improve the user experience when using the SDM-RDFizer as a Python library within other projects.
No more duplicated code. It is enough if the __init__.py contains
from rdfizer.semantify import semantify
There is no need to actually copy the code. Projects can still use from rdfizer import semantify or from rdfizer.semantify import semantify. So this is not a breaking change. It only improves the maintainability.
Passing of configuration as a Python dictionary. It is now possible to pass a Python dictionary instead of a string representing the path of the configuration file. The SDM-RDFizer will check for the type of the passed argument to determine whether the configuration is created from a dictionary or a file. This change enables users of the SDM-RDFizer Python library to create the configuration within their own project without the need of writing it to a file. This is particularly helpful for dynamic configurations.
Loggers instead of print(). There was already a logger which was used for errors. The logger is set up in a way that all messages (logging.INFO and above) are printed on console while errors and exceptions are also written to a log file. The remaining print commands are now also changed to use the logger. This enables users to change the logging level of the logger named rdfizer to show more or less messages when used as a library.
