Autocomplete to rdf-vocabularies based ontologies #14

Open mchlrch opened 5 years ago

mchlrch commented 5 years ago

Support ontologies from rdf-vocabularies out-of-the-box.

One approach to get this working is to build up the object-model for the vocabularies and then serializing [1] the object-model to rdf-mapping (.xrm) files. The serialized files should end up a in a dedicated project rdf-mapping-dsl-vocabularies publicly shared on github. Mapping users then can clone that project and add it as a dependency to their mapping project.

This approach doesn't require deep integration and no service calls are required at mapping-time. Mapping users can also easily curate their own set of vocabularies, by copy/pasting vocabularies to their own project. It would also allow us to deal with incompatible grammar versions if needed, by having a branch per major version in rdf-mapping-dsl-vocabularies.

Extracted the tooltip part to its own separate issue #24

The problem with rdf-vocabularies is that the package is already quite big and will only ever grow.

I think this issue will benefit greatly from individual ontology packages (re https://github.com/zazuko/rdf-vocabularies/issues/118). Obviously though, these packages would have to be loaded on demand. Alternatively, XRM can fetch the n-quads from GitHub

For example, having typed 

# no braces!
vocabulary schema

Would the proceed to fetch schema.nq from the web (or local cache)

This method could also allow ad-hoc vocabularies, like

vocabulary ex {
  prefix "example" "http://example.com/"

  # allow new property with the URL to fetch
  source "http://example.com/ontology.xml"
}

By the way, why the cli label?
