kglab 0.6.1

A simple abstraction layer in Python for building knowledge graphs

kglab

Welcome to Graph Data Science: https://derwen.ai/docs/kgl/

The kglab library provides a simple abstraction layer in Python 3.7+ for building knowledge graphs, leveraging Pandas, NetworkX, RAPIDS, RDFLib, Morph-KGC, pythonPSL, and many more.

SPECIAL REQUEST:

Getting Started

See the "Getting Started" section of the online documentation.

We recommend installing from PyPi:

python3 -m pip install kglab

If you work directly from this Git repo, be sure to install the dependencies:

python3 -m pip install -U pip
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Alternatively, to install dependencies using conda:

conda env create -f environment.yml --force
conda activate kglab

Then to run some simple uses of this library:

import kglab

# create a KnowledgeGraph object
kg = kglab.KnowledgeGraph()

# load RDF from a URL
kg.load_rdf("http://bigasterisk.com/foaf.rdf", format="xml")

# measure the graph
measure = kglab.Measure()
measure.measure_graph(kg)

print("edges: {}\n".format(measure.get_edge_count()))
print("nodes: {}\n".format(measure.get_node_count()))

# serialize as a string in "Turtle" TTL format
ttl = kg.save_rdf_text()
print(ttl)

See the tutorial notebooks in the examples subdirectory for sample code and patterns to use in integrating kglab with other graph libraries in Python: https://derwen.ai/docs/kgl/tutorial/

WARNING when installing in an existing environment:
Installing a new package in an existing environment may reveal
or create version conflicts. See the kglab requirements
in requirements.txt before you do. For example, there are
known version conflicts regarding NumPy (>= 1.19.4) and TensorFlow 2+ (~-1.19.2)

Using Docker

For a simple approach to running the tutorials, see use of docker compose: https://derwen.ai/docs/kgl/tutorial/#use-docker-compose

Also, container images for each release are available on DockerHub: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/derwenai/kglab

To build a container image and run it for the tutorials:

docker build --pull --rm -f "docker/Dockerfile" -t kglab:latest .
docker run -p 8888:8888 -it kglab

To build and run a container image for testing:

docker build --pull --rm -f "docker/testsuite.Dockerfile" -t kglabtest:latest .
docker run --rm -it kglabtest

Build Instructions

Note: unless you are contributing code and updates, in most use cases won't need to build this package locally.

Instead, simply install from PyPi or use Conda.

To set up the build environment locally, see the "Build Instructions" section of the online documentation.

Semantic Versioning

Before kglab reaches release v1.0.0 the types and classes may undergo substantial changes and the project is not guaranteed to have a consistent API.

Even so, we'll try to minimize breaking changes. We'll also be sure to provide careful notes.

See: changelog.txt
