Marmotta
Marmotta is a small ruby client to abstract away interacting with the Apache Marmotta server.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'marmotta'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install marmotta
Usage
Connection
# Initialize Marmotta with a URI and a context.
# The context defines the named graph triples will be posted to and which one
# will be deleted when #delete_all is called.
connection = Marmotta::Connection.new(uri: "http://localhost:8983/marmotta", context: "test")
connection.delete_all # Empty out the "test" context.
# Request this URI - Marmotta will use LDCache if configured, automatically
# going out and getting the triples which resolve at this URI.
graph = connection.get("http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80017721")
# Add the triples in the graph to the "test" context. Works with any
# RDF::Enumerable
connection.post(graph)Resource
A resource stores which subject URI you're requesting and abstracts out the connection details.
# You need a connection
connection = Marmotta::Connection.new(uri: "http://localhost:8983/marmotta", context: "test")
resource = Marmotta::Resource.new("http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80017721", connection: connection)
resulting_graph = resource.get # Get the graph for this resource - equivalent to connection.get(uri)
resource.delete # Delete this resource from Marmotta - equivalent to connection.delete(uri)
resource.post(graph) # Post a graph to the connection associated with this URI. Currently it does not enforce any subject requirements on the graph that's posted, so it's exactly equivalent to connection.post(graph)Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
