jrt 0.1.1

A JSON to RDF transformer library that maps arbitrary JSON to RDF using heuristics and ontologies.

JRT – JSON → RDF Transformer

Convert any JSON document to RDF/XML (or other RDF serializations) from the command line or as a library, while automatically leveraging OWL/RDFS ontologies you supply.

---

Features

• Ontology‑aware mapping – classes & properties found in your OWL/RDFS ontologies are resolved first; public namespaces (FOAF, DC, …) are used only as fallback.
• UUID subject strategy – stable UUID‑v5 URIs when an id key is present, random UUID‑v4 otherwise.
• Heuristics out of the box – automatic rdfs:label, rdfs:comment, list handling, object‑property linking by literal label.
• Clean Typer CLI – jrt convert input.json --ontology path/ --output out.rdf.
• Extensible library API – integrate OntologyLoader, OntologyResolver, or GraphBuilder directly in Python code.
• 100 % PyPI‑ready – MIT‑licensed, tested with pytest, zero runtime dependencies outside rdflib & typer.

Quick start

1 – Install

# PyPI:
pip install jrt

# Or with Poetry:
poetry add jrt

2 – CLI usage

jrt convert data.json \
  --output dist/data.rdf \
  --ontology path/to/ontologies/file_or_directory \
  --base-uri "http://example.org/resource/"
  --format ttl

--ontology can be a single RDF/OWL file or a directory; all .rdf, .owl, .xml, .ttl files are loaded.

Supported output formats (--format) : xml (default), ttl, nt, json‑ld

3 – Library usage

from pathlib import Path
import json
from jrt.ontology import OntologyLoader
from jrt.graph_builder import GraphBuilder

loader = OntologyLoader()
ontologies = loader.load(Path("path/to/ontologies"))

data = json.loads(Path("input.json").read_text())

builder = GraphBuilder(data=data, ontologies=ontologies,
                       base_uri="http://example.org/resource/")

graph = builder.build()
print(graph.serialize(format="turtle"))
