dataTXT 0.5

python interface for SpazioDati's dataTXT and DBpedia

datatxt is a library to query a dataTXT service and to enrich annotations with queries to DBpedia SPARQL endpoint. It will automatically convert literals to the corresponding Python types.

Visit http://spaziodati.eu/dataTXT for documentation and examples.

API

First you instantiate a dataTXT class:

d = datatxt.Datatxt()

Then you ask for annotation:

result = d.annotation(text)

You will receive a dictionary with annotation as DBpedia resources and for each resource you will receive all properties found in the DBpedia triplestore.

The library will automatically convert typed literals to a coresponding simple type in Python. Dates are also converted if the dateutil library is available.
