nifconverter 0.2.2

A tool to convert NIF files across identifier schemes (DBpedia, Wikidata, ...)

Build Status Coverage Status PyPI version

Utility to translate NIF files across identifier schemes, for instance between DBpedia and Wikidata.

It can be used both as a Python library or as a CLI utility.

Install it with pip install nifconverter.

Example invocation:

nifconverter -i my_dbpedia_nif_file.ttl -o my_wikidata_nif_file.ttl

By default we use the DBpedia SameThing service to convert URIs. It is also possible to query the DBpedia SPARQL endpoint instead using the --converter parameter:

nifconverter --converter FromDBpediaSparqlConverter -i my_dbpedia_nif_file.ttl -o my_wikidata_nif_file.ttl

The target URI space to convert to can be changed with the --target option:

nifconverter --target https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ -i my_wikidata_nif_file.ttl -o my_wikipedia_nif_file.ttl
