This package helps you in generating ontology-related objects and let's you easily create JSON-LD files.

Quickstart

Installation

Install the package:

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install ontolutils


Usage
~~~~~
Imagine you want to describe a `prov:Person` with a first name, last name and an email address but writing
the JSON-LD file yourself is too cumbersome *and* you want validation of the parsed parameters. The package
lets you design classes, which describe ontology classes like this:


.. code:: python

    from ontolutils import Thing, urirefs, namespaces
    from pydantic import EmailStr
    from rdflib import FOAF

    @namespaces(prov="http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#",
               foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/")
    @urirefs(Person='prov:Person',
             firstName='foaf:firstName',
             lastName=FOAF.lastName,
             mbox='foaf:mbox')
    class Person(Thing):
        firstName: str
        lastName: str = None
        mbox: EmailStr = None

    p = Person(id="local:cde4c79c-21f2-4ab7-b01d-28de6e4aade4",
               firstName='John', lastName='Doe')
    p.model_dump_jsonld()


Now, you can instantiate the class and use the `model_dump_jsonld()` method to get a JSON-LD string:

.. code:: json

    {
        "@context": {
            "owl": "http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#",
            "rdfs": "http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#",
            "local": "http://example.org/",
            "lastName": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/",
            "prov": "http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#",
            "foaf": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/"
        },
        "@id": "local:cde4c79c-21f2-4ab7-b01d-28de6e4aade4",
        "@type": "prov:Person",
        "foaf:firstName": "John",
        "lastName": "Doe"
    }
