## Description

The HuCit KB is a knowledge base about classical (Greek and Latin) texts, developed with the precise aim of supporting the automatic extraction of bibliographic references to such texts.

The data model of the HuCit KB is based on the following ontologies:

* [CIDOC-CRM](http://www.cidoc-crm.org/)
* [FRBRoo](http://www.cidoc-crm.org/frbroo/)
* [HuCit](http://www.essepuntato.it/lode/owlapi/http://purl.org/net/hucit)

It builds upon and connects with the following resources:

* [Classical Works Knowledge Base](http://cwkb.org/linkedopendata)
* [Perseus Catalog](http://catalog.perseus.org)
* [Perseus Digital Library](http://perseus.tufts.edu)
* [Wikidata](http://wikidata.org)
* [VIAF](http://viaf.org)

## Installation

git clone https://github.com/mromanello/hucit_kb.git
cd hucit_kb
python setup.py install

Or via `pip`:

pip install hucitlib

## Command Line

The library comes with a (development) Command Line Interface.

To see the documentation, try running:

hucit --help

For example, you can search works by name:

hucit find "Iliad"

or look up authors/works by CTS URNs:

hucit find urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012.tlg001

## Example

This is an example of how to use the HuCit KB programmatically:

```python

>>> import pprint
>>> import pkg_resources
>>> from knowledge_base import KnowledgeBase

>>> virtuoso_cfg_file = pkg_resources.resource_filename('knowledge_base','config/virtuoso.ini')

>>> kb = KnowledgeBase(virtuoso_cfg_file)

>>> search_results = kb.search('Omero')

>>> print result.to_json()
