apis-core-rdf 0.56.4

Base package for the APIS framework

APIS

The Austrian Prosophographical Information System is a Django based prosopography framework. It allows to create web applications to manage both entities and relations between entities. It provides API access to the data in various formats and creates swagger defintions. A swagger-ui allows for comfortable access to the data.

Data can also be imported from remote resources described in RDF.

In addition to this configurable import of data via RDF, there is also an configurable serialization of data. The generic RestAPI of APIS provides data either in the internal JSON format, TEI or RDF (serialized with CIDOC CRM).

APIS comes with a built in system of autocompletes that allows researchers to import meta-data of entities with just a single click. Out of the box APIS supports Stanbol as a backend for the autocompletes, but the system is rather easy to adapt to any Restfull API. APIS also supports the parsing of RDFs describing entities into an entity. The parsing is configured in a settings file.

Installation

Create a new Django project:

django-admin startproject my_apis_instance

Add apis-core-rdf as a dependency to your project.

To use the APIS framework in your application, you will need to add the following dependencies to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # our main app, containing the ontology (in the `models.py`)
    # and our customizations
    "sample_project",
    "django.contrib.admin",
    "django.contrib.auth",
    "django.contrib.contenttypes",
    "django.contrib.sessions",
    "django.contrib.messages",
    "django.contrib.staticfiles",
    # ui stuff used by APIS
    "crispy_forms",
    "crispy_bootstrap4",
    "django_filters",
    "django_tables2",
    "dal",
    "dal_select2",
    # REST API
    "rest_framework",
    # swagger ui generation
    "drf_spectacular",
    # The APIS apps
    "apis_core.core",
    "apis_core.generic",
    "apis_core.apis_metainfo",
    "apis_core.apis_entities",
    # APIS collections provide a collection model similar to
    # SKOS collections and allow tagging of content
    "apis_core.collections",
    # APIS history modules tracks changes of instances over
    # time and lets you revert changes
    "apis_core.history",
]

Finally, add the APIS urls to your applications URL Dispatcher

urlpatterns = [
    path("", include("apis_core.urls", namespace="apis")),
    # https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/auth/default/#module-django.contrib.auth.views
    path("accounts/", include("django.contrib.auth.urls")),
    # https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/contrib/admin/#hooking-adminsite-to-urlconf
    path("admin/", admin.site.urls),
]

Now start using your Django project

./manage.py runserver

Now you should be ready to roll. Start creating your ontology.
